the idea of mycoextraction combined with metal immobilization by carbonaceous sorbents (biochar and activated carbon) was investigated in this study.
Results showed that the application of carbonaceous amendments decreased acid soluble Cd and Cu.
Clitocybe maxima (C. maxima) simultaneously increased soil enzyme activities and the total number of microbes.
Biochar and activated carbon both showed a positive effect on C. maxima growth and metal accumulation.
Therefore, this work suggested the effectiveness of mycoextraction by C. maxima combined the application of biochar and activated carbon in immobilising heavy metal in contaminated soil.
