Abstract
Bioremediation means to reduce heavy metals or toxic substances with the
help of biological organism. Agaricus bisporus was noted potent for heavy metals
bioremediation. Present study was conducted in aspects of change in biomass with the
increasing concentrations of different heavy metals in spam of Agaricus bisporus. It was
observed that maximum biomass was in control that was 0.0736 gm and minimum
biomass in 100 ppm concentration of PbSO4 that was 0.0048. In AAS (Atomic
Absorption spectrophotometer) analysis maximum concentration of absorbed heavy
metal in 100 ppm concentration of PbSO4 i.e. 17.209 and minimum was in 25 ppm
concentration of CuSO4 0.572.
