Abstract

In the present study, biological method used for the synthesis of stable and well-characterized AgNPs was discussed by using Morchella esculenta. Size and shape are controlled by changing conditions such as substrate concentration, temperature, mixing speed, and exposure time. Specimens of dried mushrooms were used for AgNP production. AgNPs are synthesized using a green line of nanoparticle synthesis. Silver nitrate has been used as a source of Silver and Morchella esculenta mold has been used as a fuel for bio-reduction and synthetic nanoparticles. During the synthesis of AgNPs, the first confirmation of the synthesis of nanoparticles was the change in color reaction from yellow to dark red. The formation of Eco-friendly nanoparticles has been bringing a green revolution in treating wastewater and reducing soil contamination. The low cost and abundant resources of raw materials make it possible to synthesize silver nanoparticles green, which is an important factor in reducing pollution. The research on green synthesis of silver nanoparticles and method to prepare it for further use in pollution control is discussed in this article.
