Ectomycorrhizal Mushrooms as a Natural Bio-Indicator for Assessment of Heavy Metal Pollution

Environmental changes and heavy metal pollution are some of the consequences anthropogenic activities. Many ecosystems, including edaphic suffer from effects pollution. The accurate assessment soil contamination leads to better approaches for remediating soils. exploration different ways, biological methods, conduct environmental monitoring is still ongoing. Here, we focus on reviewing potential ectomycorrhizal fungi as a natural indicator Mycorrhizal fulfill basic criteria required bio-indicators contamination. These use mechanisms such avoidance tolerance survive in metalliferous Thus, promote indicators. This review also synthesizes existing research mushrooms elaboration mechanisms, by which meet successful bio-indicator.
