Dr. Brandi Brown, who is a bioengineer, took a love for growing mushrooms in her garage and developed a quickly growing company that has earned several local and national recognitions. Gulf Spore's commercial mushroom farm is located in Aberdeen. 

ABERDEEN – This year has been a milestone year for bio-tech business Gulf Spore, which recently expanded from its commercial mushroom farm in Aberdeen to Florida.
