North Spore is the brainchild of three college friends with an admiration for all things related to the mycological world. What began as a love for mushroom foraging and cultivating has developed into an obsession with all things fungi. Based in Westbrook just outside of Portland, Maine, North Spore supports a vibrant local foraging ecosystem for their dried wild mushroom line, as well as cultivating a wide variety of gourmet mushroom species in their urban mushroom farm and producing mushroom spawn for home growers, small farms, and other commercial mushroom farms.
