為什麼科學家把真菌送上太空？

在和平號太空站上的太空人有個很嚇人的發現：他們發現有數種來自地球的真菌在太空船內生長，覆蓋空調、腐蝕控制面板，讓太空站的完整性和太空人的生命安全受到威脅。真菌如何在前往太空的旅程中存活下來？香儂‧歐戴爾要跟大家分享為何真菌可能是我們未來前往其他星球生活的關鍵。

What began as a green and black fungal infestation threatening the Mir space station has revealed the remarkable resilience of fungi in space. These organisms not only survive extreme radiation and temperature, but their unique biology could make them essential partners in future planetary habitats. By binding materials like regolith into tough, protective structures, fungi could help humans build, repair, and even sustain life far from Earth. Scientists are now exploring how these humble life forms might enable us to live, grow food, and extract resources beyond our planet.
