\n DELFT \u2013 A Dutch start-up has created a biodegradable \u201cliving coffin\u201d made of a fungus, instead of wood, which it says can convert a decomposing human body into key nutrients for plants.<\/p>\n

The company, Loop, says its casket is made of mycelium, the underground root structure of mushrooms and filled with a bed of moss to stimulate decomposition.<\/p>\n

\u201cMycelium is nature\u2019s biggest recycler,\u201d Bob Hendrikx, the creator of the living coffin told Reuters.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s continuously looking for food and transforming it into plant nutrition.\u201d<\/p>\n

Mycelium also devours toxins and turns them into nutrients.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s used in Chernobyl to clean up the soil there from the nuclear disaster\u201d, Hendrikx said.<\/p>\n

\u201cAnd the same thing happ<\/a>ens in our burial places because the soil is super polluted there and mycelium really likes metals, oils and microplastics.\u201d<\/p>\n

The coffin is grown like a plant within the space of a week at the company\u2019s lab at the Technical University of Delft by mixing mycelium with wood chips in the mold of a coffin.<\/p>\n

After the mycelium has grown through the wood chips, the coffin is dried and has enough strength to carry a weight of up to 200 kilograms (440 lb).<\/p>\n

Once buried, interaction with ground water will dissolve the coffin within 30 to 45 days. Decomposition of the body is estimated to take only 2 to 3 years, instead of the 10 to 20 years it takes with traditional coffins.<\/p>\n

Loop has so far grown and sold 10 living coffins, Hendrikx said, for 1,500 euros ($1,761) a piece.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhen the living coffin is in the ground you can even water it, add seeds and you can decide what tree you want to become.\u201d\n <\/p><\/div>\n
