Description:

The Pacific Spore – Local Gourmet Mushroom Grower
The Pacific Spore is a Pacific Northwest–based gourmet mushroom producer specializing in fresh, responsibly grown mushrooms for independent grocers, produce markets, retail shops, and food retailers. Founded by lifelong mushroom enthusiast Payne Taylor, The Pacific Spore grew from a backyard cultivation project into a dedicated warehouse operation built on consistency, care, and community.

With 5 years of hands-on cultivation experience and 3 years operating at commercial scale, we have refined our growing processes to reliably deliver fresh, high-quality mushrooms and value‑added products in promised quantities, on time, and week after week. Our mushrooms are grown with sustainability, food safety, and shelf life in mind—harvested at peak freshness and handled with care from grow room to store shelf.

We proudly offer a rotating selection of gourmet varieties including Lion’s Mane, Shiitake, Blue Oyster, Chestnut, seasonal Pink Oyster (spring and summer), and King Trumpet (fall and winter). In addition to fresh mushrooms, we are expanding into value‑added products that support merchandising flexibility and customer engagement.

As a family-supported, locally owned business, we value strong partnerships with produce managers and buyers. Our team works closely with retailers to accommodate ordering needs, delivery schedules, and pricing structures that support mutual growth. We believe local produce departments thrive when quality, transparency, and dependable service come first.

At The Pacific Spore, we don’t just grow mushrooms—we help stores tell a local food story their customers care about.
Buy local. Support small. Grow together.
