The Future is Fungi
Dive into the captivating world of fungi with the "The Future is Fungi" podcast, where we explore groundbreaking discoveries and innovations in the mycological universe.
Join us as we converse with leading scientists and trailblazers whose visionary work is steering our planet towards a sustainable future by leveraging the fungal kingdom.
This podcast is for everyone interested to learn about the potential to leverage fungi for environmental solutions, but also specifically scientists who are interested to walk the route of commercializing their research and fungi focused startups looking to grow their companies and learn from other fungal startup peers.
The Future is Fungi
Fungi and the Future of Space Exploration w/ Dr. Rothschild & Haveman from NASA
"Science fiction is rapidly becoming science fact"
In this episode, we journey beyond Earth with Dr. Lynn J. Rothschild, an astrobiologist pioneering the use of mycelium materials to build structures on the Moon and Mars. Alongside her is Natasha Haveman, a NASA researcher exploring how fungi can sustain astronauts with food on deep space missions.
Together, they reveal how fungi could transform space exploration, from producing sustainable food and building “mycotecture” habitats to converting waste into vital resources. We also dive into the challenges of growing fungi in microgravity, explore other fungal applications, and look ahead to the future of fungi in space.
This episode offers a fascinating glimpse at where biology, innovation, and imagination intersect, and why fungi might be key to surviving and thriving in the harshest environments.
Tune in to discover how fungi are helping NASA turn the impossible into reality.
