LUNAR FUNGUS LAB

LUNAR FUNGUS LAB
Grow mushrooms in lunar regolith.

Explore biological growth where nothing should survive.

Lunar Fungus Lab is designed to test how fungi interact with high-fidelity lunar regolith simulant—providing a controlled way to study growth, decomposition, and biological resilience in one of the most extreme environments in the solar system.

Fungi are among the most adaptable organisms on Earth.
This kit lets you explore how far that adaptability can extend.

Built with physically representative lunar simulant, this is not a generic growing medium. It’s engineered material that reflects the structure and behavior of real lunar soil—impacting moisture distribution, aeration, and biological interaction.

What you can do with it:

• Grow and observe fungi in lunar-like soil conditions
• Study how regolith affects mycelium development and structure
• Explore biological processing concepts for ISRU and waste recycling
• Run repeatable experiments with consistent, characterized material

Built for:

• Researchers exploring bio-regenerative life support systems
• Academic labs studying extremophile biology
• Anyone interested in the role of fungi in off-world ecosystems

Why it matters:
Sustained presence on the Moon depends on closed-loop systems.
Fungi may play a critical role in breaking down waste, recycling nutrients, and supporting life.

If biology is going to work on the Moon, it needs to be tested in lunar conditions first.
