Introduction to fungal bioremediation (contributed by Lucy Goodeve-Docker, 2003)

This is a website that aims to introduce the reader to the new prospects of using fungi to clean up our environment, known as fungal bioremediation.

This is a legacy website which is primarily aimed at undergraduates in biological sciences, but anyone with a keen interest in fungi may still find it useful and appealing.

Designed in 2003 by Lucy Goodeve-Docker, who was then a final year undergraduate student at the University of Manchester (UK), it was updated by David Moore in 2011.

But knowledge and ideas have changed since then

The most current information can be found in the pages of 21st Century Guidebook to Fungi Online elsewhere on this website. Particularly:

Chapter 13.6: Using fungi to remediate toxic and recalcitrant wastes  

and

Chapter 17.21 Solid state fermentations
