Laccases belongs to multinuclear copper-containing oxidase and can act on a variety of aromatic non-aromatic compounds. Due their broad substrate specificity, they are considered as promising candidate in various industrial biotechnological sectors. They regarded "Green Tool"/"Green Catalyst" biotechnology. The present review focuses structure, reaction mechanism, categories, applications, economic feasibility, limitations, future prospects fungal laccases. Thus, this would help understanding laccases along with the areas, which has not been focused requires attention. Since past, immense work carried out laccases: yet, new discoveries application ever increasing includes bio-fuel, bio-sensor, fiber board synthesis, bioremediation, clinical, textile industry, food, cosmetics, many more. Hence, it be stated that laccase is an enzyme "discovered but yet undiscovered".
