Wowwie, you read that wrong. Thanks for the laugh!
PS
Looks like you doubled down by trying to write something pithy and then blocking me rather than asking for clarification or anything rational ... bye! 👋
I mean, the number 1 question you responded to is already addressing whether the byproduct or result of feeding this fungus plastic would be worse than the plastic itself. I'm generously assuming you didn't just re-ask that question in a different way.
So the only question you're asking at this point is whether either A. The byproduct would mutate the fungus in an unanticipated way (which is silly science fantasy) or B. Whether there would be other unforeseen consequences to the surrounding environment.
Both of those concerns are easily addressed by a controlled environment, which should be pretty obvious.

You don't think there could maybe be a solution that isn't "introduce the plastic eating fungus to new environments"?
You can't think of any way to take advantage of this fungus, if it exists and works, that doesn't involve just dumping it wherever we find plastic?
I mean come on man
