QUOTE : I’d never heard of anyone doing green burial and I ask him for details. Joshua tells me that the body—not embalmed—is wrapped in a mushroom-spore-infused shroud and is deposited just below the surface of the ground. It’s watered daily during dry months—which is where we are now—and as the body decomposes, it nourishes the soil. I can see the appeal, but I don’t think it would be for me. I don’t like the idea of being food for mushrooms. Actually, I don’t like mushrooms at all. It’s a texture thing.
