Mycoremediation

Mycoremediation is a big word that means using mushrooms to clean up pollution and make the environment better.

You know how sometimes there can be stinky garbage or yucky things left over from factories or big machines that make the air and water not healthy to breathe or drink? Well, scientists have found that some types of mushrooms can help fix that problem.

These mushrooms are special because they are really good at breaking down certain chemicals and compounds that cause pollution. Just like how we eat food and our body uses it up, mushrooms eat up the pollution and turn it into things that are good for the earth like clean soil and fresh air.

So, instead of using harmful chemicals to clean up the pollution, people can use mycoremediation to help the environment and keep nature healthy.

It's like having a secret superhero cleaning crew that we can't even see!
