Maybe there’s a way we can get a group together to deploy the right mushroom to clean the biosphere ..I can’t fund something like this but maybe there’s a way to get a bunch of people together to help fund this and deploy it before it’s too late.
I don’t have the time right now to look into this but here’s a link for more info if anyone’s interested:
EDIT: I just found this article with a reference list of mushrooms and what they degrade: https://www.realmushrooms.com/mycoremediation-mushrooms-pollution/#11qmk
We're gonna need something that can degrade vinyl chloride, ethylene glycol monobutyl ether, ethylhexyl acrylate, and isobutylene which are heavily UV resistant so they are going to take awhile to degrade naturally. I haven't taken chemistry in a few years, but just by looking at the reference sheet, I'm thinking the oyster mushroom and king tube mushrooms might be the best contenders.
Oyster mushrooms (P. ostreatus) are really incredible for this sort of application. They can be trained to breakdown different things including cigarette butts. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fCAX9P50SNU
edit: If anyone really wants to learn more about environmental remediation using fungi, the guy in the video above has a 600 page book that was written for that purpose called 'Radical Mycology' Personally I find it a bit on the hippy side in some areas and I get tired of all the evolutionist bs. But there is lots of good information in it too.
