SocietyWoman laid to rest in coffin made from mushrooms in Australian first
Carolyn, a woman in her 70s, has become the first person in Australia to be buried in a mushroom coffin. Made by Dutch firm Loop Biotech from mycelium and hemp fibres, the casket takes about 45 days to break down underground and enrich the soil, reflecting Carolyn’s wish to give back to nature.
