“ Now for the good news: Materials are being developed that could revolutionize all our packaging, Blum says.
Mycelium, made from mushrooms, performs a lot like current plastics.
Meanwhile, researchers at Yale have discovered a separate fungus with tantalizing abilities to break down polyurethane. It will be awhile, Blum says, but “really cool” technology based on plastic-eating mushrooms could be in our future.
“It’s not commercial-ready, but it’s on the horizon,” she says.
So forget “The Last of Us.” The mushrooms may save us all.”
