Maybe culturing mushrooms at home.
I set up a sort of glovebox/laminar flow hood with a HEPA filter, sterilized nutrified agar/plugs in canning jars, and cloned some shiitake and lions mane. I also made some 4"x4" glass slides for spore prints and inoculated some logs.
There are a lot of interesting fungi out there. Many have interesting and surprising properties. And they're delicious.
