Grow food mushrooms from Italy with Zombie Mushrooms’ Pioppino Grain Spawn. These mushrooms have brown tops and thin, crisp white stems. People like them in cooking for their nutty, earthy taste and firm feel. If you want to grow more food mushrooms, need one that stays firm when cooked, or sell to restaurants and special markets, our Pioppino (Cyclocybe aegerita) spawn has genetics picked carefully. Each 3-pound bag has a type made for steady bunches, good flavor, and the firm feel that chefs like.
What Is It?
This is our 3-pound Pioppino Grain Spawn bag. It has rye grain with strong mushroom growth ready to grow or spread more. Pioppino mushrooms (also called Black Poplar mushrooms) grow nice bunches with special brown tops on thin white stems.
Unlike other types, they stay firm even after you cook them. This makes them good for sauces, stir-fries, and soups. This spawn is made in our lab for cooking fans and business growers. It has genetics picked because they grow in dependable bunches, have a rich nutty flavor, and stay firm when cooked.

Why Choose Our Pioppino Spawn?
Pioppino mushrooms are a good mix of high quality for food and being dependable to grow. They are not as common as Oyster types, but easier to grow than many special ones. They are a good addition for people growing for business or for fun. We have made this type better over years of careful picking. Here is why our Pioppino spawn is good:
1. Special flavor for cooking
Our Pioppino type has a special flavor. It is earthy and nutty with a hint of almond and wood. It also has a very firm feel that stays firm when you cook it. Unlike many mushrooms that get soft, Pioppinos keep their good feel even in soups. This firm feel makes them very wanted by chefs who make high-end dishes.
2. Bunches that look nice
Pioppino bunches look nice at markets and in restaurants. Our type consistently grows tight, even bunches with brown tops on thin white stems. They stand out. The bunches grow at the same time, making them easy to pick. How they look helps them sell for more in special markets.
3. Lasts longer after picking
Our Pioppino type is picked to last a long time after you pick it. If you keep them cold right, they stay good for 10 to 14 days. This is much longer than many special types. Lasting longer means you lose less and have more flexibility if you grow for business or at home.
4. Grows well in different conditions
Pioppinos have things they like, but our type handles different temperatures well (55 to 75°F / 13 to 24°C). They grow well on many different hardwood materials. This means you can use materials you have nearby. This makes them easier to grow than many high-end types while still giving high quality. If you want to grow more than basic types but don't want the hard work of very demanding ones, Pioppinos are a good step.
How To Use It
Growing Pioppino mushrooms lets you grow a high-quality food type without too much trouble. They like hardwood and not too hot or cold conditions, making them easier for people with some growing experience. If you use the right steps, you can get nice bunches that are great for cooking.
-
Hardwood blocks - Mix spawn with hardwood sawdust (like beech, oak, or maple) with 10 to 20% wheat bran added in bags with filters.
-
Master’s mix - Mix with 50% hardwood sawdust and 50% soybean hulls for more mushrooms and faster growth.
-
Grow on straw - They mainly like hardwood, but can grow on treated straw with 10 to 15% hardwood sawdust added.
-
Control temperature - Let the mushroom growth spread at 70 to 75°F (21 to 24°C). Then make it cooler, 55 to 65°F (13 to 18°C), and give more fresh air to start making mushrooms.
