Saw it by chance last week. Since it is copyrighted, I don't want to upload it, but in my experience many authors will gladly provide anyone who asks with a copy. Here is the abstract:
Untapped potential: exploiting fungi in bioremediation of hazardous chemicals
Hauke Harms, Dietmar Schlosser & Lukas Y. Wick
Fungi possess the biochemical and ecological capacity to degrade environmental organic chemicals and to decrease the risk associated with metals, metalloids and radionuclides, either by chemical modification or by influencing chemical bioavailability. Furthermore, the ability of these fungi to form extended mycelial networks, the low specificity of their catabolic enzymes and their independence from using pollutants as a growth substrate make these fungi well suited for bioremediation processes. However, despite dominating the living biomass in soil and being abundant in aqueous systems, fungi have not been exploited for the bioremediation of such environments. In this Review, we describe the metabolic and ecological features that make fungi suited for use in bioremediation and waste treatment processes, and discuss their potential for applications on the basis of these strengths.

Badman, I don't get why you are rolling your eyes..?

I want the full text. Just post the full article next time.
Its my experience that most corresponding authors will ignore your emails when you are requesting a paper and my emails are very polite, if you can believe that.
