Mushrooms sent to space return to Earth & end up in pasta: Australian researchers send lion’s mane, turkey’s tail and cordyceps to the ISS, then watch what happens when they return

Mushrooms sent to space return to Earth & end up in pasta: Australian scientists sent fungal mycelium to the International Space Station as part of an experiment to study how edible fungi respond to space conditions. After the samples returned to Earth, researchers successfully cultivated lion's mane mushrooms and later used them to prepare a creamy pasta sauce. The experiment could help scientists better understand whether fungi can remain viable after spaceflight and explore their potential...
