Mycelium in Space

Samples of lion’s mane, turkey’s tail, and cordyceps were sent to the International Space Station to study how mycelium grows in zero gravity. The mushrooms will return to Earth in the coming weeks, where they will be grown in lab conditions before being compared to a control group of mushrooms that have never left Earth.
