A New Beginning for the End

A New Beginning for the End

There’s a mushroom urn made from mycelium that biodegrades in 45 days on the market. Loop Biotech’s EarthRise costs ~$325 USD (€295,00 EUR), which is inexpensive for the funeral market (the average most basic cremation service in Texas where I live is ~$2,000), but I hope citizen scientists and cultivators find this concept inspirational. Please let us eradicate coffins (soil pollution) to meaningfully return to our roots.
