SpaceX's Fram2 astronaut flight over Earth's poles will be the 1st to grow mushrooms in space

SpaceX’s Fram2 astronauts will attempt to grow mushrooms in microgravity for the first time, as part of an experiment called Mission MushVroom. The project is led by space nutritionist and FOODiQ Global CEO Flávia Fayet-Moore, seen here.

Astronauts will attempt to grow mushrooms in space for the first time during SpaceX's upcoming Fram2 mission.

Launching aboard a SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket as early as Monday (March 31), the Fram2 mission will be the first human spaceflight mission to fly over Earth's polar regions. It will carry a crew of four into a 90-degree orbit that will send them over both the North and South Poles.
