Mushrooms For Good

Where it all started

North Spore was launched in 2014 by a mycologist, an organic farmer, and a photojournalist -- three college friends brought together through their shared love of the mycological world. What began as a simple love for mushroom foraging and cultivation quickly developed into an obsession with all things fungi. From there, an urban mushroom farm was born, as was the desire to spread the spore to the masses.

What We're Built On

Rooted in Mycology

We’re built by mycologists and grounded in the science and wonder of mushrooms.

Growing Through Innovation

We’re turning cutting-edge mycology into products that change how the world grows.
