About Us

The Spore Door is home to one of the largest spore collections in the Southern Hemisphere. Built by a passionate team of mycology enthusiasts, our mission is simple: to share exceptional genetics with fellow microscopy and taxonomy enthusiasts across Australia and beyond.

We started because we believed Australia deserved a more diverse, reliable, and high-standard source for spores specifically for scientific study. Over time, we’ve grown into a trusted name in the community — not just for our selection, but for the exceptional quality and consistency of what we offer.

Our collection features some of the most exciting and sought-after genetics from around the globe. Each specimen is carefully curated and selected with microscopy and taxonomy in mind, ensuring clarity, accuracy, and reliability for study and documentation. Backed by over 25 years of experience in agribusiness and mycology, we bring professional expertise to everything we do — from sourcing and storage to packaging and customer support.

We’re not just a store — we’re enthusiasts who live and breathe this science every day. We’re behind the scope daily, testing and refining our collection, and constantly learning and improving. If you ever want a quick chat, need guidance, or just want to discuss microscopy or taxonomy, don’t hesitate to reach out. We’re always happy to help.
