Summary
Researchers demonstrated that mucilage from nameko mushrooms (Pholiota nameko), combined with iron(III), can rapidly flocculate and remove up to 98.4% of microplastics and 87.4% of nanoplastics from water within minutes, offering a natural, biodegradable bio-flocculant as a promising approach for microplastic remediation.
