Pioppino Grain Spawn
Nutty, peppery clusters with a satisfying crunch.
Two ways to order:
- Made fresh to order (ships in 3–4 weeks): We inoculate your bag after you order, so it arrives fully colonized and at peak vigor instead of aging on a shelf.
- Ready to ship (ships in 1–3 days): When we have a fresh batch on hand, you can skip the wait. If it shows sold out, choose made fresh to order.
Pioppino (Cyclocybe aegerita, formerly Agrocybe aegerita), also called the Black Poplar mushroom, grows in handsome clusters of chestnut-brown caps on slender stems. It keeps a pleasant crunch when cooked and has a nutty, gently peppery flavor that shines in risotto, pasta, and stir-fries.
Includes WeMush tracking: Every order ships with a QR code linked to WeMush, our cultivation tracking platform. Scan it to view specimen details, log observations, and follow your grow, free with any Mush Ohio purchase.
