Secret Insides of the new Myco-Toilet

The toilet turns human waste into compost using mycelia, the root network of mushrooms. The MycoToilet, inside the small cedar-sided building, has been dropped in among the trees at the university's Botanical Garden for a six-week test run. 

The toilet separates liquids from solids, with the solid waste going into a mycelium-lined compartment, where lab tests have shown 90 per cent of the odour-causing compounds are absorbed. 

 So they're using the conveyor belt system that "flushes" the number two into a separate chamber outside - behind the actual toilet container, thereby getting rid of the source of smell.... the mycelium then eats up the e. coli smell from behind.... genius...
