ABSTRACT
Nanotechnology has been considered a cutting-edge research platform that explores the nanoparticles (NPs)/materials of prevailing applications in different fields like optics, electronics, catalysis, energy science, agriculture, environmental science, and medicine. NPs are used as metal chips, electronic devices, semiconductor units, and different sophisticated biomedical applications. The routine use of toxic chemicals and non-polar solvents during the synthesis of NPs limits their applications in the clinical and pharmaceutical fields. Fungal species are actively involved in the synthesis of gold NPs. Intracellular and extracellular metabolites of fungi are also highly concerned to produce silver NPs. The synthesis of NPs using any biological entities is known as biological synthesis or a green synthesis method. The secondary metabolites as well as enzymes from the fungal cells play crucial roles in converting toxic matter into non-toxic matter, by virtue of which mycogenic NPs are safe and reliable for diverse applications.
