Oyster Mushroom Grain Spawn

Organic Pioppino Mushroom Grain Spawn

Our USDA-certified organic pioppino (Agrocybe aegerita) grain spawn features a strain that fruits clusters of snappy-stalked, medium-to-large mushrooms with velvety brown caps. Pioppino is a relatively fast substrate colonizer but can be very finicky, which requires some patience and precision. Oyster Mushroom Grain Spawn

Pioppinos prefer cooler temperatures and are prone to drying out or halting their growth if humidity is not maintained when the mushrooms are still in their early stages. However, when they grow successfully you can expect decent harvests of these delicious mushrooms. They do not reliably produce second flushes, but may produce if conditions remain controlled and humidity is correct. oyster Mushroom Grain Spawn

Recommended use:

• Pioppino grain spawn can be used for indoor production using sawdust-based sterile substrate.
• Do not use grain spawn for log inoculation.
• This is not a mushroom grow kit. Pioppino grain spawn must be combined with a substrate in order to fruit.
