This article is current, but the data is from previous rovers. Perseverance will likely be looking for more.

"Mushrooms could be great for multiple purposes for Mars settlers." What did they mean by this?

Funghi su Marte?
I've seen them on pizza too.
But....does Mars have anchovies?
I'd commission another probe to discover that.

I am no scientist- BUT I'm willing to take a look!
Those are probably frozen droplets of DRY ICE or frozen carbon dioxide!
To be abundantly fruitful, mushrooms prefer humid conditions and temperatures that start out at 70 degrees F. and thereafter stay above 55, but do not rise much above 60 degrees, although they can tolerate slightly higher temperatures.
Temperatures on Mars average about -81 degrees F. However, temperature's range from around -220 degrees F. in the wintertime at the poles, to +70 degrees F. over the lower latitudes in the summer.
