Trial site, Czechia
Czech Republic, wood-preserving plant (creosote soil)
Soil from a wood-preserving plant, contaminated with creosote at 50–200 mg/kg of PAHs. The abstract does not name the plant.

MycoremediationLaboratory, with soil from the site
Pleurotus ostreatus, Irpex lacteus
Byss, Elhottová, Tříska and Baldrian incubated the soil with the two fungi at 15 °C for 120 days, following PAHs and the microbial community.
Outcome Pleurotus ostreatus removed 55–67% of PAHs, Irpex lacteus 27–36%. By class: 86–96% (Pleurotus) and 47–59% (Irpex) of 2-ring compounds, but only 31–38% and 11–13% of 5–6-ring ones. Both fungi lowered bacterial biomass. It is a laboratory trial.
