Nanotechnology is one of the most fascinating areas of research, it is the
cutting-edge technology that has a great impact on various application fields.
Nanoparticles have been under consideration due to their applicability in almost every
field. There are many methods used for the synthesis of nanoparticles but biological
methods have proved to be superior. Among various biological sources,
microorganisms have gained attention recently. Bacterial nanoparticle syntheses from
terrestrial as well as from marine habitats have been frequently studied as compared to
fungal counterparts. Recently, Fungal Nanotechnology has received much attention as
it has a big role to play in future as well. During the last decades, marine fungi have
been observed to exhibit novel nanotechnological application potentialities. This
chapter deals with the history and emergence of myconanotechnology, focusing on
terrestrial as well as marine fungal resources. Fungal nanoproducts have noteworthy
scope in diverse fields. This chapter also discusses the scope of myconanotechnology
in future.
