Loop Biotech Living Cocoon

The Loop Living Cocoon™ – The World’s First Living Mushroom Coffin

Created by the visionary team at Loop Biotech, this biodegradable burial innovation harnesses the hidden magic of fungi and mycelium networks to return us to nature in the most nourishing way possible.

🍄 The Power of Mushrooms: Nature’s Silent Architects

When we think of mushrooms, many immediately jump to the psychedelic or culinary kind — but there’s a far more profound story unfolding beneath our feet.

Mushrooms, through their mycelium networks, are some of the most intelligent, interconnected organisms on the planet. These underground threads — known as mycorrhizal networks — weave together the roots of trees and plants, enabling a vast, silent communication system some refer to as the “Wood Wide Web.”

Mycelium doesn’t just connect; it listens, understands, and responds. It nurtures the soil, distributes nutrients, and helps entire ecosystems thrive. In return, plants share sugars and resources with fungi in a perfectly balanced, symbiotic relationship. It’s nature’s own internet — ancient, wise, and vital to the health of our forests and planet.

🌿 A Beautiful Return to Nature

The Loop Living Cocoon is the world’s first 100% natural mushroom coffin, made from mycelium and recycled hemp fibers. It’s not only eco-conscious, but deeply symbolic — offering a return to nature in a form that nurtures the soil and the life it supports.

  • 🌱 Fully natural materials: mycelium and up-cycled hemp

  • Completely biodegrades within 45 days

  • 🌎 Enriches the earth, feeding surrounding plant life and ecosystems

When buried, the coffin transforms from a vessel to a living participant in the circle of life, reconnecting us with the land and honoring our final act as one of restoration and giving.

🌀 A New Way of Thinking About Death

At Thereafter, we believe in honouring life in death, and death in life. The Loop Living Cocoon isn’t just a product — it’s a philosophy. One that embraces transformation, legacy, and sustainability.

The mushroom, often associated with spiritual growth, renewal, and rebirth, becomes the perfect symbol for this transition. A quiet yet powerful reminder that even in death, we can be a force for good.
