An Amazon mushroom can be used for plastic recycling
Poliurethane synthetic resins are often used to produce most of the things we use - rubber garden tubes, furniture, used to make paints.

This material can be produced easily, has a long life and is not dust-free, but the only problem encountered when using this material is that it cannot be recycled. No natural process can decompose this resin until a new study on an Amazon fungus is officially announced.
Mushroom Pestalotiopsis microspora
Pestalotiopsis microspora occurs in the Ecuadorian rainforest, discovered by a team of research students led by chemical molecular professor Scott Strobel, during an expedition and discovery of tropical forests at Yale University. . This is the only fungus capable of living on synthetic resins, especially this fungus can survive even in anaerobic environment.
This has made Pestalotiopsis a suitable candidate for a polyurethane recycling project, which is also a way to replace the burning of plastic utensils for recycling purposes.
