What is a mycelium-based coffin?A mycelium-based coffin is a biodegradable and eco-friendly alternative to traditional coffins. It is made from mycelium, the root structure of mushrooms, which naturally decomposes and enriches the soil, making it a sustainable choice for burial.
-
How are mycelium coffins made?Mycelium coffins are crafted by growing mycelium on organic materials like agricultural waste. The mycelium forms a strong, durable structure that can be molded into a coffin shape, which is then dried and shaped to ensure it is ready for use.
-
How long does it take for a mycelium coffin to decompose?A mycelium coffin naturally breaks down within months, returning to the earth and enriching the soil. The decomposition process is significantly faster than traditional coffins, which can take decades to fully decompose.
-
How does choosing this kind of coffin help the environment?By choosing a mycelium coffin, you are supporting a burial process that enhances the ecosystem. Mycelium naturally enriches the soil as it decomposes, supporting plant life and ecological regeneration, while traditional burial methods often leave behind non-biodegradable materials and harmful chemicals.
