Pleurotus ostreatus
Synthesis of silver nanoparticles has been investigated utilizing many ubiquitous fungal species including "Trichoderma", "Fusarium", "Penicillium", "Rhizoctonia", "Pleurotus" and "Aspergillus". Extracellular systhesis has been demonstrated by "Trichoderma virde", "T. reesei", "Fusarium oxysporm", "F. semitectum", "F. solani", "Aspergillus niger", "A. flavus", "A. fumigatus", "A. clavatus", "Pleurotus ostreatus", "Cladosporium cladosporioides", "Penicillium brevicompactum", "P. fellutanum", an endophytic "Rhizoctonia" sp., "Epicoccum nigrum", "Chrysosporium tropicum", and "Phoma glomerata", while intracellular synthesis was shown to occur in a "Verticillium" species, and in "Neurospora crassa".
