In Sydney, a woman named Carolyn became the first Australian buried in a coffin grown from mycelium — the living root network beneath mushrooms — dissolving into the earth within forty-five days of her burial. Her family's choice, guided by a life lived in care for the natural world, reflects a quiet but growing reckoning with how human endings might honour the systems that sustain life. Across Australia, families and lawmakers are beginning to ask whether death might be not a departure from nature, but a return to it.
