Unlocking the Potential of Lunar Soil

The Selenar Fungi Team is dedicated to conducting innovative research on the use of mycorrhizal fungi in growing crops on lunar soil.

Welcome to The Selenar Fungi Team

Cultivating Mycorrhizal Fungi on the Moon

Join our research team at ESA ESTEC in The Netherlands as we explore the potential benefits of using mycorrhiza to enhance plant growth on the lunar surface.

Enhancing Plant Growth with Lunar Surface Resources

Our research focuses on the potential benefits of utilizing mycorrhiza – the symbiotic relationship between plant roots and fungi – to improve plant growth in lunar soil.

Evaluating the Potential Benefits of Mycorrhiza in Space Exploration

Mycorrhizal fungi have the ability to enhance plant growth by forming a symbiotic relationship with green plants, making it an attractive option for future space missions.
