North Spore Spray and Grow Mushroom At Home Growing Kits

by Rebecca Forstadt-Olkowski Leave a Comment

Are you a mushroom lover? I am, but I never thought of growing them at home until I was sent some “spray & grow” mushroom growing kits to try by North Spore. All I had to do was undo a perforation on the box, slice an X into the plastic bag, and squirt the soil with a mister twice a day.

All you do is Spray & Grow

One kit contains Blue Oyster Mushrooms and the other Pink Oyster Mushrooms. The instructions said that they could be grown inside or outside but that a humid environment makes it easier. It suggests they be placed near the kitchen sink or the bathroom.

I don’t have room to grow them inside as I share a small house with a roommate, so I put the boxes just outside our door under a covered patio. We live in Los Angeles, which isn’t very humid, but we had some rare rain, so it may have helped.

The process usually takes about 2 weeks. The pink oyster mushrooms started popping out first. The blue ones have yet to make an appearance but I will update this post when they do.

The mushroom growing kits make fun gifts for anyone who loves mushrooms or growing plants.

A haven for shroom aficionados

For more serious mushroom growers, North Spore offers specially formulated soil, ingredients, and the equipment necessary to grow mushrooms inside the home or out. In addition to oyster mushrooms, you can also grow Lion’s Main, Shitake, and Reishi varieties. The site’s content is a resource on how to successfully identify and grow edible mushrooms.

If you don’t want to grow mushrooms but want to take advantage of their health benefits, you can find mushroom capsules, tinctures, teas, and books available for sale.

About the North Spore company

North Spore was launched in 2014 by three college friends who love mushrooms including a mycologist, an organic farmer, and a photojournalist. They grew up foraging mushrooms and wanted to take their love of fungi to the next level.

The company’s mission is to disrupt the food system by empowering others to grow and harvest both edible and medicinal mushrooms safely using the best ingredients and practices.

You can purchase North Spore products on its website here.

Grow kits and other mushroom supplies by North Spore are also available on Amazon here.

Once you grow your mushrooms, saute some in this mushroom Tapas recipe.
