Coffin made of mushrooms makes it way to NZ
A new type of compostable coffin grown largely from mushrooms has arrived in Aotearoa. The coffins are grown in the Netherlands from Mycelium, the underground root network of mushrooms and upcycled hemp fibres. The finished product looks a bit like an elongated egg or cocoon. Australia has its first burial with a mushroom grown coffin last week. Inventor and founder of the company behind the coffins, Bob Hendrikx spoke to Lisa Owen.
