Mushrooms aren’t just for psychedelic trips, they can clean the planet too
Recently, a plastic-eating fungus was discovered in a landfill in Pakistan. Soil samples indicate a strain of fungus called Aspergillus Tubingensis, which breaks down polyester polyurethane in a few weeks rather than in hundreds of years. Polyurethane is used to manufacture everyday objects such as tyres and condoms, both of which end up in a landfill.
