Dear all, This is a very common phenomenon where the plant and fungi are known to accumulate metals or heavy metals in them. This particular feature has lead to the development of bio-remediation. The plants were initially used as bio-remediants but later fungi and bacteria have over taken the popularity, the simple reason is the growth rate factor. Many mycelial fungi and mushrooms in the world over has been or is being used to remove such toxic pollutants. They are known to remove, heavy metals, aliphatic, aromatic hydrocarbon and many other. after the remediation is complete these bio-forms are cautiously removed from the area. But when such organisms grow wildly in regions with toxicants present largely on the substrate they tend to accumulate it within themselves as a physiological phenomenon and enters into the food chain through animals or human may leads to many related diseases and can even lead to cancer.
