Hopefully this helps spur the growth of a mycelium industry to replace plastics.
Sounds great, but when plastics first came around as an industry, we didn't know how bad it was.
There's no long term knowledge about fungus stuff once processed into these new forms. It should be better, but there may be issues down the road.
Not saying changing isn't good, it very much is, and it's necessary. Just taking this opportunity to point towards a long human history of great ideas that solve one problem, but cause others.
