Hey, I recently found out that there are mushrooms on asteroids in our Solar System. Does this mean that mushrooms where the first life in our Solar System? Could they have come from other planets, or are they just on asteroids that broke of Earth as it was jus forming? |

If you can link us to were you read about that, thats really interesting. We choose to go to the moon and to do other things, we choose to go to the moon not because its easy but because its hard. kennedy |

But mushrooms need rain. Does it rain on the asteroids? Tullio |

If this is true, it will be big BREAKING NEWS. It will support Panspermia hypothesis. I have not read anywhere about mushrooms on asteroids and I read astronomical web sites and magazines. Please provide us with a link or at least a clue where we can read more about it. Otherwise I will assume it is not true. "We have the right to know what really happened in Roswell in 1947" |

I have not read anywere about such a phenomenon, but looking at things from anther perspective it could be true because mushrooms belong to fungi family and a fungus can survive very hush conditions it doesnt need much to survive. If fact if for example a huge asteroid hit the earth ,fungi are they most likely organisms to survive in huge chunks that are thrown in to space, secondly fungi family spread by means of spores which are quit light and can easily be carried in to space by all these lunches of satelites etc, i am not sure thoug if they can actually survive in radiation belts. We choose to go to the moon and to do other things, we choose to go to the moon not because its easy but because its hard. kennedy |

There are structures inside Cells that are referred to as Asteroid Bodies, this refers to fungal infections, this has nothing to do with Asteroids in space, perhaps this caught your eye somewhere? Asteroid Body of Lobomycosis There are also references regarding the impact that is believed to have contributed to the extinction of the dinosaurs, along the lines of fungal growth after the impact which helped life survive on Earth afterwards but his is down to fungi already present on Earth being the only form of life to thrive when sunlight obscured from the surface after the impact. Fungi Revived the Earth... |
