Antarctic mushrooms prove life on Red planet

Antarctic mushrooms journey through 18 months on the International Space Station ISS, proving the ability to endure the rigors of Mars.

This Antarctic mushroom is associated with the Spanish and Austrian lichen mushrooms. This discovery opens a new era of parasitic fungal life on Mars.

After an 18-month life-sustaining journey on ISS, exposed to the harsh living conditions of Mars's space and habitat, this Antarctic mushroom has proven its ability to withstand the rigors of life. live in space. Experimental mushroom samples show that more than 60% of cells survive.

This mushroom collected from Antarctica to the universe has a width of 1.4cm, higher than 200 nanometers.

This mushroom collected from Antarctica to the universe has a width of 1.4cm, higher than 200 nanometers, in the mushroom contains 95% CO ₂ liquid gas, 0.05% oxygen, 2.7% nitrogen, 270 parts per million of water, living in a 1000 pascal pressure environment and capable of interacting with ultra-high aurora, ultraviolet rays on Mars.

This Antarctic mushroom has proven its ability to withstand the rigors of life in space.

Mushrooms are sampled and brought back to Victoria and Antarctic dry valleys.
