== Question ==

Do hyperaccumulators use the metals that they accumulate? [[User:Kortoso|Kortoso]] ([[User talk:Kortoso|talk]]) 17:00, 13 May 2014 (UTC)

== Mushrooms ==

Shouldn't we include mushrooms in the page, as they are often hyperaccumulators and often used in remediation for their capacity of absorbing a lot of heavy metals?
What about mushrooms absorbing radiations? They should fit the definition too

==Merge proposal==
*Phytoextraction process is closely related to [[hyperaccumulator]], it's how they work (supposedly).
*Phytoextraction process and hyperaccumulators are homework projects written by and imposed upon undergraduates.
*The articles are thin and have weak referencing. There is no technology and little serious scientific interest in these themes.
*It is probably better for readers and definitely better for editors if we maintain one article vs two weak ones.
*[[Phytomining]] could also be merged into this article since phytomining, another aspirational but uneconomic concept, relies on [[hyperaccumulator]]s.
*[[Metallophyte]], yet another topic of homework, assignment, describes plant "that can tolerate high levels of heavy metals such as lead." Some definitional hair-splitting going on.
