Bioremediation of aflatoxin B1-contaminated maize by king oyster mushroom (Pleurotus eryngii)

This paper investigated the capability of the white-rot and edible fungus Plerotus eryngii (king oyster mushroom) to degrade AFB1 both in vitro and in a laboratory-scale mushroom cultivation, using a substrate similar to that routinely used in mushroom farms.
