Experts at Stanford University conducted a study and concluded that the mushrooms that grew in the reactor room of the destroyed Chernobyl nuclear power plant are capable of absorbing radiation. And, therefore, they can be useful in the colonization of Mars.
As is known, the strongest radiation radiation is observed in space, which is very dangerous for humans. According to scientists, the thickness of the mushroom layer of just over twenty centimeters is enough to neutralize the dose of radiation on the surface of Mars, which can be received in a whole year.
Fungi have some other amazing properties. They can produce energy from radiation, that is, replace solar batteries, have the ability to self-repair and self-replicate. And there was also an idea to make a medicine from such mushrooms, the use of which would help the body from the severe consequences of radiation. The drug will find use in cancer patients and workers in nuclear power plants, writes the Daily Mail.
