Mission Statement
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.
Gardening With mushrooms
Growing your favorite edible and medicinal mushrooms outside in a backyard or garden setting is a relatively simple process and provides you with a nutritious and low-impact source of protein over multiple years. What’s more, outdoor cultivation is less costly, less energy intensive, and produces less plastic waste than indoor cultivation. In this article we will discuss the best mushroom varieties, substrates, and growing methods for growing outdoors and offer tips for creating a diverse and productive mushroom garden throughout the year. We will cover how to make mushroom beds, logs, containers, and more.
