‘Willow’ Pioppino (Cyclocybe aegerita) – Liquid Culture Syringe
Pioppino, sometimes called black poplar mushroom, is a dependable commercial strain known for its velvety brown caps and crisp, snappy stems. The ‘Willow’ line reliably throws off heavy flushes and produces mushrooms that are sturdy enough to hold up well in transport—unlike more fragile varieties. Growers appreciate it for consistent yields and repeatable results.
What you’ll receive:
Each liquid culture syringe contains ~10ml of live mycelium, sealed in a protective sleeve with a sterile 16-gauge needle and an alcohol wipe.
About liquid culture:
Liquid culture is simply live mycelium suspended in a nutrient solution. It gives you a fast, clean way to inoculate grain bags or jars without having to start from spores. For hobbyists, it’s one of the most straightforward entry points into mushroom cultivation.
Directions for use:
Refrigerate on arrival for best shelf life.
Shake the syringe well before use to evenly distribute the mycelium.
Inject through a self-healing port on your grain jar or bag.
Always use sterile technique—ideally working in a still air box or under a flow hood.
If reusing the needle, flame-sterilize it before and after each use.
Handled with care, this culture will give you the strong, repeatable results pioppino is known for.
