There's bacteria that eats plastic too, but they aren't edible like these mushrooms. I love mushrooms, but I'm not going to eat a plastic-eating mushroom. I prefer my mushrooms to feast on plain old manure. ;)
Yeah, that raised an eyebrow too. Creating one waste to get rid of another. Even if they used solar panels to power the lights, the solar panels still took oil and plastic to make.

I feel like the end goal is making carbon dioxide, I mean unless you eat them. Which you might as well burn it at point. Especially if you are going through the effort of depolymerizing it with UV.

Citation needed. We are still discovering that a lot of the medicine we assumed was safe is toxic. You can't just claim a mushroom with plastic derivitives in it is safe.
