![]() ![]() We also provide a flow chart that can be used to convince funding bodies just how important fungi are and their potential for biotechnological research and potential products. We provide notes and examples for all potential exploitations and give examples from our own work and the work of others. In this paper, we detail 50 ways in which we can potentially exploit fungi. Fungi are, however, also relatively understudied, but are an essential, fascinating and biotechnologically useful group of organisms with an incredible biotechnological potential for industrial exploitation. On the other hand, they cause serious human, animal and plant diseases and have numerous negative aspects on human life (Hyde et al.

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