intracellular approach. To improve mycosynthesis of NPs and control their size and
shape, different environmental factors such as fungal biomass, temperature, precursor
concentrations and time contact, pH and the being of certain enzyme were extensively
investigated to optimize not only the formed NPs, but to maximize the production
of NPs also. Moreover, physico-chemical characterization of mycosynthesized NPs
is considered the critical factors for study the nature of NPs that clearly states the
main characters of the prepared NPs. Due to the unique chemical, and physical
characters of the mycosynthesized NPs, they have a wide rang of applications in
many fields. Among NPs based applications, agriculture sector, wastewater treatment, heavy metal removal, textile industry, food packaging and safety, bioremediation of environmental hazard substances and biomedical applications are prospective
areas for the utilization of mycosynthesized NPs. With no doubt, the biosynthesis of
NPs using fungi opens up a new possibilities to make our daily life green as possible,
however, a dense efforts have to be accomplished by both scientific communities and
their governments for transporting such works to industrial world instead of chemical
methods that threaten life.
