Nowadays, more and more people think they want to give their bodies back to nature after death. To help these people, a Dutch expert developed a coffin made of fungi that quickly turns human remains into compost, feeding the soil.
According to the creator of the fungal coffin, his invention is the first living coffin. The process is based on mycelium, an important form of fungal organization. It was used in Chernobyl to clean the soil, and it is also widespread among farmers in the Netherlands. Recently, a corpse was composted in the Netherlands for the first time, giving back the remains of our physical existence to nature. The body of an 82-year-old woman rests in the coffin, and it is estimated that her remains will disappear in 2-3 years. While in a traditional wooden and metal casket, the body takes more than ten years to decompose, the casket itself takes 30 to 45 years to disappear. The special fungal casket costs about 450 thousand forints ant the moment, but the company is expecting prices to decrease over time, provided that they will have a growing customer base.
