The BWB community biology lab has recently expanded, tripling our available bench space for lab work. They’ve dedicated an entire section of the lab specifically for mycological research, fully equipped with everything needed for mushroom cultivation, myco-material experimentation, and DNA barcoding of fungi. Our goal is to offer affordable lab access for everyone—ideal for beginners eager to develop mycological skills or even for early-stage startups needing space to launch their bio-designed products.
