    Pestalotiopsis Microspora (plastic eating mushroom)
    “In 2012, students from Yale University discovered a rare species of mushroom that can eat plastic. The mushroom is called Pestalotiopsis microspora and it comes from the Amazon rainforest. The fungi are capable of surviving on plastic alone!”

    • @sandroshanidze6060
      @sandroshanidze6060 3 роки тому +12

      Pestalotiopsis is not a mushroom, it's a micromycete fungus, meaning that its spore bearing structures are microscopic - it doesn't produce fruiting bodies, or mushrooms, hence it's a fungus, but no mushroom 🦠🧫

    I love this! I would like to offer a tip though. I sell fertilizer online and we do a similar packaging process on a little bigger scale. I would recommend not handling things twice, fill a bag, pack it down and stack it straight into the sterilizer. You are effectively handling the bags 2-3 times and that is a lot of extra time. Not as clean perhaps.. But handling things multiple times will take years off your life, haha. Trust me, handling packages is my life and this bothered me. With that being said I probably have no clue what I'm talking about and I truly dig the videos! Great stuff, just something to consider, small businesses can always use more efficient processes and its a fun evolution! My wife laughed at me as I watched you, I had to say something. :D

    I wonder if it would be at all feasible to make the bags out of mushroom/mycelium plastic (I think mostly chitin)? I know there are companies experimenting with making other plastic products out of mycelium but I'm not sure if it would be feasible to make them totally clear or not. Would you really need to wash a reusable container if you were going to pasteurize them anyway?
