biodegradable bench

Seen on Inhabitat: This garden bench by Shinwei Rhoda Yen is a beautiful piece of modern design on the outside, and the perfect habitat to grow mushrooms on the underside.The bark on the bench comes embedded with mushroom spores.

From Inhabitat: Left exposed to the elements, mushrooms will grow and live within the chair for years, feeding off of the nutrients of the wood. As with all things in nature, the mushroom furniture will eventually degrade, giving way to the life of its inhabitants.
