North Spore Information

We strive to make the world of mushrooms accessible to all, fostering collaboration and innovation to improve tomorrow. North Spore is on a mission to disrupt the food system by empowering people to grow and harvest their own healthy edible and medicinal mushrooms. In addition to the positive environmental impacts of mycelium (e.g. soil nutrient cycling, bioremediation) the potential for mushrooms to naturally improve health and wellness and become a key sustainable meat alternative are core drivers of what we do. We are a company committed to the environment and sustainability and make every effort to provide organic, natural, non-GMO, and locally sourced materials from companies that share our values. With our vertically-integrated facility, North Spore produces 100% of its spawn, sterile substrates, cultures, and kits. We take our customer's needs seriously and are fortunate to have multiple staff mycologists leading research and development, plus trained lab technicians overseeing our spawn and substrate production, in-house laboratory, and in-house culture bank. Regardless of whether we are sharing our knowledge of mushroom cultivation and foraging, our favorite mushroom recipes, or simply our overwhelming admiration for this often overlooked biological kingdom, we are striving to be a community hub for fungi enthusiasts, both beginner and expert.
