Previous work has verified that fibre composite fabrication processes are capable of a high degree of automation and structural performance. Germany Discovery 17/A/05 Universität Stuttgart 2017 - 2019 Robotic manufacturing of fibrous structures in space Growing fungi structures in space The mushroom-forming fungi Pleurotus ostreatus (PO), Trametes versicolor (TV) and Schizophyllum commune (SC) are known to effectively colonise organic material. These fungi were grown on the aquatic fern Azolla filiculoides (AF), the fastest growing plant on Earth, and that can fix its own nitrogen. SC showed the best growth on AF. Therefore, growth of this fungus was determined under microgravity conditions and high radiation dosage (up to 200 Gy) and related to melanin production.
