It looks like NASA is having fun with fungi lately.
The US space agency is looking seriously at building mushroom houses on the moon.
“NASA’s myco-architecture project is using mushrooms as the building blocks for its prototypes of how future space habitats could be built. The fungi would be able to grow around an already-established framework by just adding water.“
It sounds like the stuff of science fiction, but with the next people to walk on the moon scheduled for 2024, this project could be growing on our satellite before the end of the decade!
