What is described just sounds too good to be true ? Wonder what the bottlenecks are ?

  I think the main problem is that it's still a slow process and it will be hard to scale it up to the levels we need to get rid of our single use plastics.

    Ideally, we'd throw a sack of spores on a huge heap of plastic and few years later it would all be gone. Getting there will surely be a long process and require a whole lot of research.

      If that heap of plastic will be at least partially covered with soil or wood, then maybe. But without probably not. Also, if you have a fast plastic processing mushroom, that would mean all plastics in use would not be stable anymore.
