Mycofabrication is the synthesis of various metal nanoparticles via fungal species. Several fungal species are eco-friendly, clean, non-toxic agents for the synthesis of metal nanoparticles, using both intracellular and extracellular methods. The volume is divided into two main sections.

Part 1 explores the mycogenic synthesis of many metal nanoparticles: processing processes, environmental protection, and future perspectives. Nanomaterials, including silver, gold, palladium, copper, zinc, selenium, titanium dioxide, metal sulphide, cellulose, have been formed by major fungal genes, such as mushrooms, Fusarium, Trichoderma, endophytic fungi, and yeast, in addition to lichens. Understanding the exact process involved in the synthesis of nanoparticles and the effects of various factors on the reduction of metal ions can help to improve low-cost strategies for the synthesis and extraction of nanoparticles. Mycogenic nanoparticles, risk evaluation, protection and control are also addressed.

Part 2 depicts a new framework for the production of nano-antimicrobial. This section focuses on the use of myconanoparticles against plant diseases, post-harvest antibiotics, mycotoxin control and plant pests in addition to certain animal pathogens. Myconanomaterials are well developed with great potential and promise for advanced diagnostics, biosensors, precision farming and targeted smart delivery systems. These achievements give rise to new opportunities for innovation in agriculture and the food industry at immense pace and the implementation of environmentally friendly formulations to protect cultivated crops from insects and pathogen-causing diseases, plant science, antimicrobial applications and agro-ecosystem applications, as well as veterinary applications.

This book provides information on the uses of myconanoparticles in the agri-food community and evaluates the environmental threats connected with these nanoparticles. The introduction of large-scale myconanoparticle strategies will lead to an increased number of emerging applications in the coming years.
