The Mushroom Death Suit is brought to us by artist Jae Rhim Lee. As part of Lee’s Infinity Burial Project, the body suit is laced with flesh-eating mushroom spores, designed to beat the worms to your dead corpse and help the body decompose more naturally.

It is all part of an initiative to promote death awareness while providing an environmentally-friendly alternative to chemical embalming, cremation, and casket burial. And to keep our minds off our eventual role as ‘worm food’.
