So where should I start???
Lion's Mane
Lion’s mane, despite being tough to find in grocery stores, is highly versatile, contains brain-supporting compounds, and can be enjoyed in a myriad of recipes (and teas!).
Shiitake
Shiitake mushrooms, when log-grown, are huge and meaty. Their flavor is described as rich, savory, buttery, and umami. Plus, they contain immune-boosting compounds!
Oyster
Oyster mushrooms are velvety, savory, and mild and pair perfectly with just about any recipe! They’re true all-rounders and a North Spore team favorite.
Frequently Asked Questions
New to mushroom growing? Here are some common questions beginners ask before they start their first grow.
Most mushroom kits start producing their first harvest (called a “flush”) within 2–3 weeks of setup. Some species—like Lion’s Mane—can take a little longer, while fast growers such as Oyster mushrooms may be ready even sooner.
Not necessarily! Spray & Grow Kits come with everything you need. Just mist them with water and keep them at room temperature. As you advance, you can add humidity tents, grow lights, or sterile tools for higher yields and more control.
Yes. Indoor grow kits fruit comfortably at typical household temperatures. Outdoor log or bed grows depend on seasonal conditions, but you can enjoy indoor harvests any time of year.
Oyster mushrooms are very forgiving and fast to grow, making them ideal for first-time cultivators.
