North Spore

North Spore is a Portland, Maine company that makes growing mushrooms at home approachable for everyone. Founded in 2014 by three college friends - a mycologist, an organic farmer, and a photojournalist - it sells grow kits, spawn, substrates, lab supplies, and mushroom wellness products direct to consumers. With more than 350,000 growers served and a 25,000-square-foot production facility, North Spore has grown from a tiny mushroom farm into one of the most recognized mushroom-cultivation brands in the United States.
