Eco-lovers in the UK can now be buried in the world's first 'living coffin' - which decomposes faster and is made out of mushrooms.<br /><br />The coffins are grown out of pliable mycelium - a mat of fibres and upcycled hemp plants - rather than traditional wood.<br /><br />The mycelium, which grows like thread, aids decomposition by breaking down biological matter - biograding within just 45 days. Mycelium is the root structure of mushrooms.<br /><br />Made by Dutch company Loop Biotech, the coffins can be grown in just a week and "feed the earth with your very own nutrients".<br /><br />Funeral director Poetic Endings in Forest Hill, southeast London, were the first in the UK to offer one of these unique coffins - officially starting to stock them last week. <br /><br />Founder Louise Winter, 38, said: “Brexit made it slightly more complicated to get things into the country, so I am thrilled that we can finally offer them.
