Pioppino Mushroom Grain Spawn 1.5kg

Pioppino Spawn

Pioppino, or black poplar mushroom, is an Italian favourite with chestnut caps and crunchy stems. This pioppino mushroom grain spawn is 1.5kg of millet and milo grain, fully colonised and ready to spawn to bulk.

What Is Included

• 1 x 1.5kg pioppino grain spawn bag
• Access to our online growing guide

Best Substrates

Pioppino grows well on supplemented hardwood sawdust in bags, and it is also a good candidate for outdoor beds of hardwood chips in a shady spot. Poplar, willow and beech woods are all suitable.

How to Use

1. Break up the grain.
2. Mix into hardwood substrate at 10 to 20 percent spawn by weight.
3. Incubate at 20 to 25°C until fully colonised.
4. Fruit at 15 to 22°C from the top of the bag with high humidity and indirect light.

Worth Knowing

Pioppino is slower to fruit than oysters, often taking an extra week or two. In our grow room it was always the one we checked most impatiently, but the flavour makes it worth the wait.

Storage

Fridge for up to two weeks.
