A tree fungus could provide green fuel that can be pumped directly into vehicle tanks, US scientists say. The organism, found in the Patagonian rainforest, naturally produces a mixture of chemicals that is remarkably similar to diesel.

“This is the only organism that has ever been shown to produce such an important combination of fuel substances,” said Gary Strobel, a plant scientist from Montana State University, who led the work. “We were totally surprised to learn that it was making a plethora of hydrocarbons.”
I got it growing on the orange tree at home this moss. So I have to keep trimming it because it produces sulphur and other additives that isn’t too good for the environment. Yeah - it includes unleaded gas too.
So we’ll be seeing farms growing this stuff?
It’s interesting, I wonder if it will pass Al Gore’s ‘green’ test though.
yes, burn all the poor little organisms!!
