Mushrooms for a landfill
    #22396014 - 10/18/15 12:16 AM (8 years, 3 months ago)

OK so after recently stumbling onto videos by a man named Paul Stamets, I have been fascinated by the idea of using mushrooms for as many things as possible. One of his videos showed how he used mushrooms spores to turn a pile of oil into an oasis of life starting from an inoculation of a particular mushroom spore which I can't remember off the top of my head. Since then I have been looking into plastic eating mushrooms and while companies are using mushrooms and turning plastic into food in their high tech labs, I was wondering if there was a low cost method for anybody to say throw some particular spores into a rubbish bin, throw that onto a landfill and have a similar effect? Not for human consumption directly but for other lifeforms to live off.  The closest thing I have found to be able to do that would be Pleurotus ostreatus (oyster mushroom) but I'm not entirely sure how effective that would be. Any advice would be greatly appreciated... Thanks :smile:

Sounds interesting but far fetched


--------------------
1) All living things are highly organized and contain many complex chemical substances.
2) All living things contain one or more cells
3) All living things use energy.
4) Living things have a definite form and have a limited size.
5) Living things grow.
6) Living things respond to changes in the environment.
7) Living things can reproduce.
8) Living things eventually die.

It's still in the very expensive research phase. It's not something Joe blow is doing. Staments is very smart but he is also a hype man that over exaggerates everything mushrooms.

There's cultures of fungi that may be able to break down a few specific plastics you might be able to get your hands on but the most crazy thing you'll be doing is trying to get it to eat a little bit of the petri dish its in.

if it's any type of mushroom I know of at least, my bet would be on oyster

I think the Radical mycology group were doing some stuff like your taking about. I can't find the link right now though.
