Yeah. Lookup Mycellium Running by that wacky dude Stamets. There are mushroom species that can be emplotey to cleanup nasty oil spills and stuff.

Also, there are mushroom species that can breakdown plastics in effect getting rid of stuff that woulf take hundreds/thousads of years to decompose.

Mushrooms are amazing

Lichens are incredible. Check out the book Entangled Life, which Paul Stamets proclaims is "a must-read!"
