Changing a dirty diaper isn't a fun job. Eating a diaper is even less fun, but luckily there is a fungi that can do just that.

Oyster mushrooms, Pleurotus ostreatus, can devour 90% of a disposable diaper within two months, observed Alethia Vázquez-Morillas of the Autonomous Metropolitan University in Mexico City in the journal Waste Management.

What's more, the mushrooms grown on diapers are edible. Vázquez-Morillas has dined upon them herself.

“They are cleaner than most of the vegetables you can find in the market, at least in Mexico,” said Vázquez-Morillas in an interview with the Economist.

Would they be marketed as "organic and eco friendly" oyster mushrooms? :-))

Of course Trib, will cost twice as much and be considered essential to any posh dinner and discerning palate. Can you imagine the potential scandal? "I am absolutely positive that was certainly NOT a dirty diaper mushroom he was trying to pass off there!".
