Mushrooms could replace plastic

Plastic we all use it on a daily basis but it is one of the most polluting and toxic materials that we use. Eden Bayor co-founded a company called mylobond. The idea was to replace the Styrofoam with the 100% biodegradable material from mushroom. They called it mushroom packaging. Mushrooms naturally create a root system called mycelium this is what holds the mushroom together acting like glue. This mushrooms packaging is 100% recyclable and uses 1/10th of the cost of making styofram.
