Buried in Fungus

A worker at TU Delft, Bob Hendrikx, has designed and built a coffin from mycelium (https://www.dezeen.com/2020/09/16/bob-hendrikx-living-cocoon-mycelium-coffin/. Mycelium is the extensive underground parts of fungi. A coffin, with this construction, acts as an underground 'cocoon', facilitating the recycling of the contained body. It's effectively an improvement on the wicker and cardboard containers currently used in woodland burials. Woodland burials appear to be better, in terms of greenhouse gas generation, than cremation. They also don't take up the space of a traditional burial with a headstone.
