Fungi including mushrooms contain various enzymes and biomolecules, making them an effective agent for synthesizing various nanoparticles. This study aimed to synthesize and characterize zinc nanoparticles using the zinc sulphate salt at the concentration of 1mM and the mushroom Pleurotus sajor-caju. The P. sajor-caju synthesized zinc nanoparticles were characterized using UV-Visible spectral analysis, Field Emission Scanning Electron Microscopy, and Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy. They did not change the color and showed a characteristic surface plasmon resonance band peaking at 300nm. They were spherical and the particle size was found in the range of 7.29 nm to 13.27 nm. They showed ten bands at different stretching with wave numbers ranging between 675.17cm-1 and 3675.56cm-1. The presence of advantageous features in the zinc nanoparticles synthesized from P. sajor-caju revealed the usefulness of the synthesis of other metal nanoparticles from P. sajor-caju.
