Chernobyl molds[edit]

Who discovered the molds at Chernobyl? Was the the Pioneer robot (NASA robots#Pioneer) involved in this discovery? Were samples of the Chernobyl fungus ever tested in a laboratory? --DavidCary (talk) 17:04, 21 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Radiotropic fungi on LEO spacecraft[edit]

"Radiotrophic fungi have been found in extreme environments such as in the Chernobyl Nuclear Power Plant and on the exteriors of Low Earth orbit spacecraft." The citation given does not support the position that radiotropic fungi have been found on the exteriors of LEO spacecraft. It is, rather, a study of an experiment done on the Space Station. A quick Google search found https://www.permaculturenews.org/2017/03/27/aggressive-fungus-found-growing-outer-space/ which includes the statement "Scientists are considering the implications of an “aggressive space fungus” identified on the outside of the Russian space station Mir" however the actual article only details fungus found inside the space station. It was also not confirmed to be radiotropic.
