Fungi that eat microplastics and turn them into usable energy 🧪🌍
New 2026 research shows certain soil fungi (including Aspergillus and Fusarium species) can break down polyethylene and polypropylene microplastics, using the carbon as fuel to grow faster.
Lab tests proved they not only survive plastic pollution — they thrive on it and convert it into biomass and even useful enzymes.
The underground network is quietly cleaning our mess.
Drop a ♻️ if this gives you hope for the planet.
