Applied Mycology
The fungal kingdom consists of a wide variety of organisms with a diverse range of forms and functions. They are ubiquitous in nature, having been recovered from almost every ecological niche – from deep-sea sediments to the jet stream. The utilization and application of fungi by man...

| description |
The fungal kingdom consists of a wide variety of organisms with a diverse
range of forms and functions. They are ubiquitous in nature, having been
recovered from almost every ecological niche – from deep-sea sediments to
the jet stream. The utilization and application of fungi by mankind has a
long and varied history that probably predates any written records. This
utilization includes the very early use of edible fruiting bodies as foods, and
the 2000–3000-year-old histories of fungi in brewing, baking and as
medicinal treatments. Mankind’s use of fungi has broadened and grown
considerably in the last 100 years. Well-known examples of this include the
discovery and production of antibiotics and the wider utilization of fungi in
the food industry, where they are used commercially, both as food products
and in the production of compounds and enzymes for food processing (e.g.
citric acid and pectinases).
The association of many fungi with plants and invertebrates has resulted
in their use in agriculture as both biological control agents against plant
pests and diseases, and as plant growth stimulants such as mycorrhizal
inoculants. Although all of these applications could be considered as
relatively long-established processes, new applications continue to be
developed. Recent examples include the development of the commercial
production of a mycoprotein food product, continuing advances in the
environmental remediation of soils and industrial wastes, and the
identification and production of a wide range of enzymes and compounds
for biotechnology. Within the biotechnology area there has been a particular
growth in the application of mycology, and current research includes the use
of fungi in the production of biofuels, and fungally mediated chemical
transformations. |
