Do Fungi Feast on Radiation?

Apparently, but only if they contain melanin, the chemical that serves as skin pigment in humans

Mycoremediation after Maui wildfires: "The inoculated silt-sock technique has made its way across the Pacific to Hawaii, where the Maui Bioremediation Group has put local strains of fungi to work in service of recovery from the catastrophic Lahaina fire in August 2023. That group is developing a Hawaii-specific approach to bioremediation that includes treating carbon-rich charcoal created from plant matter with a compost “tea” composed of fungi and other microorganisms collected from the same areas where they’ll be installed; they then stuff that charcoal and wood chips inoculated with Pleurotus cystidiosus (the abalone oyster mushroom) in their biofiltration socks." - https://www.smithsonianmag.com/science-nature/can-scientists-harness-the-magic-of-mushrooms-to-clean-up-polluted-landscapes-180986561/

"#Mycellium is the #root structure of #mushrooms and, simply [stated], they're just the #recyclers of #nature."

#Mycoremediation, replacing #plastics, #meats, #packaging, #leathers and more are all possible with #fungi, perhaps the important #organism on #Earth.

Using and doing Everything, Everywhere, All at Once to mitigate #ClimateChange may save our #species. It's our best option.

Now I want to be buried in a #mushroom #coffin. #GreenFuneral #GreenBurial
