Extended space travel and stays on the moon will require humans to produce food, materials and medicine in space. Marshall Porterfield, professor of biological engineering and space biophysics at Purdue University, believes fungi could be grown in space to recycle the waste of astronauts into valuable resources.

Agave americana, also known as the century plant, has evolved for a dry desert life. It stores water in its heavy, waxy leaves and is monocarpic — meaning it expends resources to bloom only once its life. For 30 years, these succulents photosynthesize, grow and store sugar in their center, called the heart. Then a “death bloom” uses every last ounce of the energy, growing 6 to 8 inches a day, reaching up to 50 feet to grow hundreds of flowers in the sky — a feat that kills the mother plant.
