Fungi are an understudied, biotechnologically valuable group of organisms. Due to the immense range habitats that fungi inhabit, and consequent need compete against a diverse array other fungi, bacteria, animals, have developed numerous survival mechanisms. The unique attributes thus herald great promise for their application in biotechnology industry. Moreover, can be grown with relative ease, making production at scale viable. search fungal biodiversity, construction living collection, both incredible economic potential locating organisms novel industrial uses will lead products. This manuscript reviews fifty ways which potentially utilized as biotechnology. We provide notes examples each exploitation give from our own work notable researchers. also flow chart used convince funding bodies importance biotechnological research provided world penicillin, lovastatin, globally significant medicines, they remain untapped resource enormous potential.
