2020, Merlin Sheldrake, Entangled Life, page 11The exact mechanism of the mycofabrication is still a mystery, and the revelation of process at the molecular level for metal ion reduction and mycofabrication is desired in order to get fine control over the fabrication of metal nanoparticles of diverse shapes and sizes.
