Science discovered people plastic eating mushrooms

A group of researchers in Hawaii University developed a surprising solution against plastic pollution in the seas. Mushroom species isolated from sand, algae, sponge and coral samples collected from O’ahu Island proved that they can consume plastic in the laboratory environment. These microorganisms, which can specifically eat polyurethane types of plastics, can revolutionize the ocean cleaning work.

Mantars can quickly adapt][
The research team tested these mushrooms by placing polyurethane plastic to petri containers. Some species have increased the speed of plastic consumption in a short time like three months by fifteen percent. According to scientists, this shows that fungi can adapt quite quickly against plastic. [

Natural solution, new start
]This development is not only for marine life but also for human health and ecosystems. Today, millions of parts of the oceans are thrown plastic every day, and these plastics are able to stay without dissolving for many years. It may mean that these wastes remain less in nature.

Experts recommend a balanced approach
] The team conducting research thinks that this method can be a tool for large-scale cleaning work in the future. However, experts will not only be able to produce solutions, but also emphasize that plastic production should be reduced. So the mushrooms hope verse also the main thing lies in producing less plastic from beginning.

Sea mushrooms hope to the future]
]Today, the presence of such mushrooms is known only as one percent of the oceans. But this discovery is a strong example of how many unknown live species can contribute to nature in the seas. Perhaps the environmental heroes of the future will be quiet inhabitants of the seas.
