Organic Pioppino- Agrocybe aegerita - Grain spawn
Synonyms: Black Poplar, The Swordbelt Agrocybe, Yanagi-matsutake, Zhuzhuang-Tiantougu
This delicious edible mushroom with its typical nutty wild mushroom flavour is becoming increasingly popular worldwide, but was also cultivated in ancient Rome. The young fruiting bodies are brownish and hemispherical, later the mushroom cap becomes increasingly flattened and is often somewhat cracked. The mushroom caps sit on elongated stalks with a ring. The flesh is firm and white, with a slightly mealy odour.
This mushroom is extremely versatile: chopped small and fried in a pan, baked as a filling or in a cream sauce to flavour
meat and fish dishes. Pioppino should be harvested in good time, preferably before the velum tears. Then it not only keeps longer, but also has a more intense flavour.

The mushroom spawn should be processed immediately after delivery.
