Pioppino Mushroom Grow Kit – Nutty, Peppery & Gourmet Clusters

Grow your own Pioppino mushrooms (Agrocybe aegerita) at home with this rewarding gourmet grow kit. Pioppinos form in elegant clusters of small to medium mushrooms with dark brown to light brown-grey caps and cream-colored stems. Known as the “Black Poplar Mushroom,” they are celebrated by chefs for both their appearance and flavor.

When cooked, Pioppino mushrooms release a faint floral aroma and deliver a meaty, crunchy texture with a nutty, slightly sweet, peppery, and earthy flavor. They are a versatile addition to stir-fries, risottos, pasta, and hearty vegetable dishes, bringing both depth and complexity to your cooking.

This grow kit is suited for growers who enjoy a hands-on experience. Pioppino mushrooms thrive in mid-60s to low-70s °F with indirect or artificial light and require multiple stages of bag manipulation and humidity control. With proper care, you can expect 1–2 generous harvests of these highly sought-after gourmet mushrooms.
