Description :
The present study based on the de-colorization of synthetic dye by fungal strain isolated from Spent Mushroom Substrate (SMS). The Spent Mushroom Substrate is by-product of mushroom industry bearing many fungal strains having capacity to decolorize synthetic dye. Out of the seven fungal strains isolated from SMS, five strains showed de-colorization and five synthetic dyes used in which three were de-colorized by isolated fungal strain. This study shows that dye de-colorization using Spent Mushroom Substrate is a non-conventional and less costly method than chemical method.
