Astronauts aboard the space station Mir made a frightening discovery: several species of Earth-derived fungi were found growing throughout the shuttle, blanketing air conditioners and corroding control panels, putting both the station’s integrity and their lives at risk. How had the fungi survived the journey to space? Shannon Odell shares why fungi may be the key to our future on other planets.

We’d be like a colony of space smurfs living in mushrooms.
-
One small step for spores. One giant leap for fungi.

The Last of Us 3: Space Invasion

This feels like the pitch for the: "biggest let down of Space horror movie". We have fungus growing everywhere, "What do we do???" (Then they astronauts just end up cleaning...)
-
“Break the mold” lol good pun
-
Carbon negative, thermal and radiation resistant homes? Sounds more useful here on earth than on another planet.
-
"..and will undoubtedly continue to break the mould." I see what you did there
-
Mark Twain said, "Name of all the greatest inventors. Accident." Same is here with us how we interacted with fungi at first step in space and now what potention they may behold for us. Just Fascinating !😮
-
wow, this space mushroom stuff, sounds like a cross between "travel to the center of the earth" and "trip to the moon" to me.
-
Well, fungi can live in space because there's mush-room.
-
considering fungi were the first flora to blanket landmasses and evolved into the 1st trees, I would say their the perfect candidates to use on a barren alien rock.
-
Very interesting! Though I wouldn’t trust a habitat made of fungus, but I’m not an astronaut so I don’t think NASA is worried about my opinions 💀
-
Because a mushroom is a fungi to have around up in space
-
Amazing. Mushrooms are truly one of the apex life forms of our planet. I feel like it's Mushrooms, us, and trees, in that order
-
Because everyone loves him, he is a really Fungi.

Ted -ed sugestion to next history video: Los Angeles ritos of 1992
-
With that survivability and adaptability, invasive strains will be impossible to eradicate.
-
not only that but because of the lack of mass a single spore is,it could be sent at near light speeds to other planets a millenia away

Scavengers's Reign😮

With all the positive fungus based media being made in 2024 from Netflix's mystic mycelium movie and that mushroom themed kids show also on Netflix but also two animated videos somewhere on YouTube About how cool and amazing mushrooms and other fungi are has lead me to the conclusion that Some people are beginning to believe that mushrooms and other fungi are the ultimate life forms and this only furthers it
