Foreword
In the twentieth century, humans acquired skills to connect fungi to protect human health (through antibiotics, antimicrobial, immunosuppressive agents, etc.), which led industrial scale production of enzymes, alkaloids, detergents, acids, biosurfactants, etc. With the establishment of modern nanotechnology in the 1980s, fungalbased innovations continued to excite by providing greener (non-toxic, eco-friendly, cost effective, non-hazardous and sustainable route) alternative to chemically synthesized nanoparticles. The merger of antibacterial and antifungal assets, coupled with their intrinsic “green” and facile synthesis, makes smart biogenic nanostructures for future applications in nanomedicine ranging from topical ointme
