But does it taste good with scrambled eggs?
In 2019, researchers flew some of the fungi to the ISS, watching how it grew over a period of 30 days

Your tax dollars at work. There is no limit to the things government will spend money on to study. Its all about science don’t cha know.
or put their Number 2 in plastic bags and store it in the walls of the spacecraft
One more reason to grow veggies in space. It may keep the weight down for background radiation but I don’t know if an intense shot will be stopped by fungi. A dense metallic lining like a lead or gold lining would likely be preferred for a heavy and long radiation bombardment.
Like in that terrible SciFi Hugh Laurie comedy Avenue 5 !
Provided, of course, that it doesn’t eventually mutate and devour the astronauts.
This.👍
Boy ... there could be a great episode of Futurama made with this story.
Farnsworth would be all over it.
Great just wait until it becomes self-aware.
The fungus from space. Definitely a movie there.
Now I get it, this is really where “The Andromeda Strain” came from.
5.56mm
or by using H2O as a shield as envisioned in Project Orion. Water is more useful then fungi which at best can only be eaten, unless under the extreme radiation, it mutates and eats the astronauts ...

Now planed to have Covid jab preinstalled (Scientists Are Attempting to Grow Covid Vaccine-Filled Spinach, Lettuce, Edible Plants To Replace Covid Injections).
That show was unwatchable, which is a shame because his performance in House was stellar. Brilliant actually, and pretty much unparalleled in any television I know of.
How he managed to be detestable and admirable, infuriating and amusing all at the same time. Simply brilliant.
Agree about his acting. I eventually found House to be too annoying to watch. It morphed from sleuthing interesting medical puzzles (Keeping with its Sherlock Holmes inspiration !) to all about “ relationships all the time” ! Just like almost every prime time drama, a quasi-soap opera. After awhile it just got boring and predictable, so I stopped watching.
Is this the set-up for a science horror movie?
Sounds like one of those magic mushroom/ergot kinds of breakthrough ideas. I'd always figured that Leila the Soviet dog provided the origin of the idea of a dog driving a car.
The cloaking device is a fungus?
The fungus is amongst us,
but the lead is ahead.
