In this study, the biosorption of methylene blue (MB) dye using the wild macrofungus (Lactarius piperatus) (LP) was studied. To determine the optimum conditions, the effects of contact time, initial pH (2-12), and biosorbent dosage (1-5 g/L) on the biosorption at different temperatures (25-55°C) and...
