Netherlands startup makes coffin that gets 'absorbed by nature'

A Netherlands-based student startup claims to have developed a "living coffin" made of mycelium. The coffin, 'The Living Cocoon', helps the body to compost "more efficiently, removes toxic substances and produces richer conditions" for new trees and plants to grow. Practical tests showed that the coffin is actually absorbed by nature "within 30 to 45 days", under normal Dutch conditions.
