A Danish biotechnology company is trying to fight climate change — one laundry load at a time. Its secret weapon: mushrooms like those in a dormant forest outside #Copenhagen. In the quest for a more environmentally friendly detergent, 2 scientists at the company, @novozymes, regularly trudge through the mud, hunting for oyster mushrooms that protrude from a fallen beech or bracken fungi that feast on tough plant fibers. They’re studying the enzymes in mushrooms that speed up chemical reactions or natural processes like decay. The goal: develop laundry and dishwasher detergents that require less water, or that work at lower temperatures. Enzymes are often found in relatively cool environments, like forests and oceans. As a result of that low natural temperature, they don’t need the heat and pressure typically used in washing machines and other laundry processes. @carstensnejbjerg took this photo of 2 scientists looking for mushrooms in Hareskoven Forest, near Copenhagen.
