Airborne fungal pathogens are known as pathogens and cause number of diseases including infections of skin and severe respiratory tract diseases. The presence of mycotoxins in fungi are found responsible for causing infections and these mycotoxins degrade substances also. Keeping in view of this property, a number of researchers explored different fungal species to synthesize nanoparticles which exhibit promising therapeutic properties. Some of the examples of fungi used for nanoparticles include Aspergillus and Trichoderma. The biosynthesis of fungi based nanoparticles is safe, eco-friendly, biocompatible and low cost. Present review deals with the synthesis of selenium nanoparticles using air borne fungus. Selenium is one of the micronutrient required by plants in trace amounts also has therapeutic properties. But large amount of selenium is toxic and may be hazadorous when enters via food chain. Nanoselenium has similar bioactivity like other forms of selenium in humans and has many biological applications in the field of medical and pharmaceutical research to combat threats to number of diseases and for human health. Biogenic SeNPs have antimicrobial, anticancer (cytotoxic), antioxidant activity. The present review emphasizes on myconanotechnology and its application, synthesis of myconanoparticles. Application of selenium and its therapeutic properties as antimicrobial, anticancer and antiviral, whereas can be used as remedy for number of diseases. Collectively, self-assembly of SeNPs-fungal complexes affects their (patho) biological identity, which may impact human health and ecology.
