   I wonder if this is like junk food to the fungi, and whether the fungi can stay healthy while making this plastic so much of their diet.

   Microbes that can digest plastics at low temperatures have been discovered by scientists in the Alps and the Arctic, which could be a valuable tool in recycling.
