Bringing Mushroom Cultivation to the Masses w/ Louis Giller of North Spore

For this episode, I--Natalie--chatted with Louis Geller from North Spore, which is a mushroom company based out of my home state of Maine. I have known about North Spore since they were founded, which I think was about 10 years ago, and watch their business grow with great enthusiasm because their mission is really cool to bring mushroom cultivation to the masses. And they're doing it very successfully, putting together amazing educational resources to help people get going. I encourage you to check out some of the resources in the show notes for more specifics on cultivating different mushroom species and the different growing systems they've been working on. Folks who make the show possible...
