Mushrooms have always been an important source of food, with high nutritional value and medicinal attributes. With the use of biotechnological applications, mushrooms have gained further attention as a source of healthy food and bioenergy. This review presents different biotechnological applications and explores how these can support global food, energy, and water security. It highlights mushroom's relevance to meet the sustainable development goals of the UN. This review also discusses mushroom farming and its requirements. The biotechnology review includes sections on how to use mushrooms in producing nanoparticles, bioenergy, and bioactive compounds, as well as how to use mushrooms in bioremediation. The different applications are discussed under the water, energy, and food (WEF) nexus. As far as we know, this is the first report on mushroom biotechnology and its relationships to the WEF nexus. Finally, the review valorizes mushroom biotechnology and suggests different possibilities for mushroom farming integration.
蘑菇一直是重要的食物来源，具有很高的营养价值和药用特性。随着生物技术应用的使用，蘑菇作为健康食品和生物能源的来源受到了更多关注。本综述介绍了不同的生物技术应用，并探讨了这些应用如何支持全球粮食、能源和水安全。它强调了蘑菇对于实现联合国可持续发展目标的相关性。本综述还讨论了蘑菇种植及其要求。生物技术综述包括如何利用蘑菇生产纳米颗粒、生物能源和生物活性化合物，以及如何利用蘑菇进行生物修复等章节。不同的应用在水、能源和食物（WEF）关系的框架下进行了讨论。据我们所知，这是关于蘑菇生物技术及其与WEF关系的第一份报告。最后，该综述对蘑菇生物技术进行了评估，并提出了蘑菇种植整合的不同可能性。
