Dye is extensively used in industries, such as textile, paper printing, food, and leather. Dye causes significant effects on living organisms and the environment. Current dye treatment methods are inefficient in decolourization as the dye is highly persistent. Efficiency in the decolourization of dye is a challenge for industries as well as for wastewater treatment systems. This paper focuses on the mycoremediation dye treatment method, a sustainable treatment method that leads to green technology. This study explores mycoremediation efficiency and processes for dye decolourization. The gap of study on fungal mixed culture shapes future study direction of dye decolourization. Synergistic or antagonistic effects of mixed culture towards dye decolourization should be further investigated.
