Australian researchers to test growing oyster mushrooms in space for sustainable food.

Australian researchers will test growing oyster mushrooms in space on March 31 as part of a SpaceX mission. If successful, the experiment could provide a sustainable food source for astronauts and have implications for Earth-based agriculture. The four-day mission, orbiting over the polar ice caps, could also advance space technology and help solve terrestrial issues like vitamin D production and water recycling.
