About Pioppino
Pioppino mushrooms are like the elegant, earthy cousin of wild mushrooms—rich, nutty, and incredibly versatile. These mushrooms not only bring a warm, woodsy aroma to your kitchen but also serve as a delightful, healthy addition to countless dishes. Loved by both beginner home growers and seasoned culinary enthusiasts, they’re a must-try for anyone seeking a gourmet twist. Their flavor profile is deep and savory, with notes of roasted nuts and a subtle sweetness, perfect for enhancing risottos, soups, and stir-fries.
Pioppino mushrooms are a powerhouse of nutrition, packed with antioxidants, vitamins, and high-quality proteins. Their slightly firm texture and earthy taste make them a fantastic ingredient to elevate any meal, from everyday comfort foods to sophisticated dining. Plus, they grow steadily and reliably (around 10-15 days), making them ideal for both beginners and growers seeking a rewarding, hands-on experience.

Technical informations
Pioppino, scientifically known as Agrocybe aegerita, is highly prized for its rich, earthy flavor and versatility in culinary applications. While celebrated for its gourmet qualities, this species also holds potential for further research into its health benefits and medicinal properties.
With each Pioppino Growing Pod, we guarantee at least one successful harvest, though many customers enjoy a rewarding second or even third harvest! Each crop yields fresh mushrooms perfect for 1-2 hearty and flavorful dishes, grown straight from your Shrooly S1.
How to use pods
How To Consume
Who can resist a well made risotto? Fry your pioppinos a bit to get them started, then cook it together to make an amazing, creamy risotto. But if you rather want to highlight your pioppino, simply fry it and create a white sauce to compliment its nutty flavour or make a funghi pizza.
Don’t have time to cook it? Cut it up and just dry it out - you’ll be able to rehydrate it once again if you want to enjoy pioppino mushrooms.P.S.: We'll let you decide if it’s a coincidence that our favourite recipes are from Italy, and Pioppino (alternatively poplar mushrooms) is the Italian word for these species.
