it was in the news, but not really noticed all that well
The Presidio Trust is currently in a pilot program to decompose the Cosco Busan oil spill using oyster mushrooms, partly donated by Far West Fungi, the same one at the farmers market at the SF Civic Center. The oil is soaked up using mats of donated human hair, then covered with inoculated oyster mushroom spawn which eats the oil
the main problem is that because of the federal bureaucracy treating the spill as a crime scene, the actual Cosco Busan oil isn’t being cleaned up (not yet anyway), but rather donated oil to test and see how well it works see this article

he seemed to like the idea……..
