Any help appreciated.

Yes Nitrate can be removed by mycelium because the mycelium breaks down and absorbs surrounding organic matter into nutrients that can be absorbed and used as nourishment. Mycelia make up a critical part of their ecosystems by aiding in the decomposition and regeneration process.the mycelium makes up the thallus, or undifferentiated body, of a typical fungus. It may be microscopic in size or developed into visible structures.

Hello Prem Baboo, thanks for answering this question! I would like to know the cost-effectiveness of this process. We are noting nitrate contamination in groundwater sources such as borewells. Any example of successful removal of nitrate would help.
