In all of the use cases where I have seen mushroom packaging being called for, a traditional green packaging could have been used instead. Recycled paper is a very versatile material and is very easy to work with.
A wide variety of packaging can be made from cardboard & cardstock with a simple steel rule die. If custom shapes are needed, then compressed fiber like fast-food drink trays are an option. There are starch-based packing peanuts that can replace polystyrene peanuts. There's a lot more room for innovation beyond what we already have too, I think Amazon's paper mailers are a good example.
- solomonb 5y agoI'm with you 100% on this. I actually cultivate gourmet mushrooms as a hobby (started about 15 years ago when I took a course in university) and am a big fan of mycology and the importance of fungi ecologically, nutritionally, and medicinally. However, there are, IMO, currently significant environmental downsides to indoor mushroom cultivation. Mushrooms are having a "moment" and there is a gold rush to throw them at everything under the sun.
