Scientists Have Discovered A Mushroom That Eats Plastic, And It Could Clean Our Landfills »

This is actually pretty exciting. They’ve found a way to turn plastic into food.

Mushrooms are such amazing things. Most are decomposers, meaning they break stuff down into its original components. Some break down dead wood, or animals, others can break down toxic waste, and apparently this one can break down plastic. How cool is that?

catch me running biorecycling plants filled with pestalotiopsis and waxworm caterpillars, BOTH OF WHICH ARE EDIBLE,

    The fact we’ve not only caused a radiation eating mushroom and a plastic eating mushroom is as fascinating as it is...
