Mighty Mycelium Lab Kit

Unleash your child's inner scientist! This kit goes beyond simple observation and introduces the fundamentals of the scientific method with more materials for real experiments. Is your child ready to take the next step and think like a scientist? The Mighty Mycelium Lab Kit provides the tools and guidance for more structured investigation. With additional plates and materials, kids are encouraged to design their own experiments: compare the microbes on a washed vs. unwashed apple, test the "five-second rule," or see what's growing on the TV remote! This kit empowers older kids to ask questions, test hypotheses, and document their findings, turning their natural curiosity into a foundational understanding of scientific principles. Every kit also grants access to our brand new Explorer Portal! Includes WeMush Tracking: Each kit includes QR codes linking to WeMush, our cultivation tracking platform. Students can optionally scan codes to access digital specimen records — a real-world connection to how commercial growers track their production.
