This trained ‘mushroom death suit’ will eat you when you die

Most people will either be buried in the ground or cremated into  ashes when they leave this world, but bioartist Jae Rhim Lee has  something that sounds way more nasty than it really is: a suit with  “Infinity Mushrooms” that are trained to eat your decomposing body.
Lee’s reasoning on using mushrooms, the “master decomposers” to eat her body when she’s dead is that it’s an environmentally friendly solution.  Rather than using carcinogenic formaldehyde to pep a dead body for a  casket, she believes confronting your impending death and not falling  into denial is important.
