It makes me depressed thinking about more plastic waste fungi are not likely to digest anytime soon due to all the antimicrobal additives that prevent kitchen soap from molding and, well, the sponge material chosen to slow down decomposition while it is in use. It also shreds into microplastics really easily.
I’ve got some growing out back after my third year trying! I wanted the sponges but my wife is bugging me to chop them down to eat. “You people EAT those?!”

I use loofahs for doing dishes. Anything it struggles with just needs another bathing in hot water with bicarb
Nice life pro tip! Thanks.
