About North Spore

North Spore is a pioneering company in the mycology industry, founded in 2014 by three college friends: Eliah Thanhauser, an organic farmer; Matt McInnis, a photojournalist; and Jon Carver, a mycologist. United by a shared passion for the fungal kingdom, they embarked on a mission to make the world of mushrooms accessible to everyone. What started as a humble urban mushroom farm in Portland, Maine, has blossomed into a comprehensive resource for mushroom enthusiasts of all levels, from curious beginners to seasoned cultivators. The company's ethos is encapsulated in their playful yet profound motto: 'Spread the Spore.' The genesis of North Spore lies in the founders' shared fascination with mushroom foraging and cultivation. This common interest quickly evolved into an obsession, leading to the establishment of a company that is deeply rooted in the science and wonder of mycology. North Spore is not just a retailer of mushroom-related products; it is an educational platform and a community hub for growers, foragers, and the fungi-curious. Their dedication to the field is further demonstrated through their scholarship and research funding for students and scientists in mycology, showcasing a commitment to the future of the field. North Spore offers a diverse and extensive range of products that cater to a wide audience. For those interested in cultivation, the company provides everything needed to grow mushrooms at home, both indoors and outdoors. This includes a variety of mushroom spawn, grow kits for beginners, sterile substrates, and all the necessary supplies and tools. Their product line extends to specialized equipment like monotubs and 'Martha Tents' for more advanced growers.

In addition to their cultivation supplies, North Spore has a significant focus on wellness products derived from functional mushrooms. Their wellness line includes USDA-certified organic, dual-extracted tinctures, mushroom capsules, mushroom coffee, and even mushroom chocolate.
