    About This Item

    Pioppino Liquid Culture Syringe | High-Quality Agrocybe aegerita Culture

    Pioppino Liquid Culture Syringe

    Black Poplar mushrooms, commonly known as Pioppino mushrooms, are small to medium in size with convex to flattened caps connecting to thin, elongated stems. The firm, soft, and silky caps average 3-10 centimeters in diameter and range in color from dark brown to light brown-grey, growing darker towards the center. Underneath the cap, there are small, grey-brown gills containing dark spores, and the gills connect to the fibrous cream-colored stem that has a texture similar to asparagus.

    Pioppino Liquid Culture Syringe | High-Quality Agrocybe aegerita Culture

    Spore Genetics Pioppino Liquid Culture Syringe

    The Spore Genetics Pioppino Liquid Culture Syringe is an excellent choice for cultivating the delectable Agrocybe aegerita, commonly known as the Black Poplar or Pioppino mushroom. This versatile edible mushroom is distinguished by its dark brown to black cap and white gills underneath. The long, often slightly curved white stem complements the mushroom's rich, nutty flavor and meaty texture, making it a popular choice among gourmet chefs and home cooks.

    This syringe contains a live, isolated biological sample that has been meticulously nurtured, tested, and expanded at Spore Genetics to ensure it is 100% contaminate-free. The culture syringe includes a high-output isolated sub-strain, optimized for maximum yield and reduced incubation time. Each purchase comes with a sterile, individually packaged hypodermic needle for convenient substrate injection.

    Pioppino mushrooms thrive on various substrates, including sterilized hardwood logs, supplemented sawdust blocks, pasteurized straw, and other cellulose products. For those looking to explore different growth mediums, petri dishes with malt extract agar and dextrose agar, along with spawn options such as rye berries, millet, oats, and corn are great options.

    This species requires very cold temperatures for fruiting, with an incubation temperature of 70°F - 80°F over 8-12 days, followed by fruiting at 45°F - 60°F with humidity levels of 85% - 93%. Known for its need for cold conditions, the Pioppino mushroom has a pinning time of 4-10 days and a total fruiting time of 14-18 days. This mushroom is a rewarding choice for those who can provide the necessary colder environment, resulting in a bountiful harvest of these flavorful fungi.

      Pioppino mushroom liquid culture is a form of Pioppino mushroom mycelium that has been grown in a liquid medium. It is a convenient and effective way to inoculate your substrate of choice with live Pioppino mycelium, allowing you to easily and reliably grow your own Pioppino mushrooms at home.

      To use Pioppino liquid culture, you would typically sterilize your substrate of choice, such as sawdust or straw, and then add a small amount of the liquid culture to the substrate. The mycelium in the liquid culture will then colonize the substrate, eventually producing fruiting bodies (mushrooms) that you can harvest and enjoy.

      Pioppino liquid culture mushroom spores are often used by home mushroom growers because it is more affordable and easier to transport than traditional spawn or mycelium. It is also useful for growers who want to inoculate a large amount of substrate, as a small amount of liquid culture can be used to inoculate a much larger amount of substrate compared to traditional spawn. Overall, Pioppino liquid culture is a great option for anyone looking to grow their own Pioppino mushrooms at home.
