The present study demonstrates an eco-friendly, non-toxic and cost-effective protocol for synthesis of gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) in aqueous medium using Pleurotus sapidus culture filtrate as the reducing and stabilizing agent. On treating chloroauric acid solutions with fungal culture filtrate, rap...
