An eco-coffin made of a type of fungi which decomposes much faster than traditional wooden coffins has been used for the first time in a real burial. It's the idea of Bob Hendrikx, a bio-designer from the Netherlands, who says the key ingredient of his coffins is mycelium, which provides trees with nutrients from the body of the person who's died.
"Your nutrients will allow new plants to thrive so you can decide if you want to be a nice apple tree or a Christmas tree. It's a more realistic perspective on the cycle of life, not a linear way that 'Hey, you die, it's over', because that's not the way it is."
