Pioppino (Large Poplar) Liquid Culture – 10 ml Sterile Syringe
Species: Cyclocybe aegerita (syn. Agrocybe) | Prepared in the UK
Pioppino grows tight bouquets of chestnut‑brown caps over pale, crunchy stems. Valued in Mediterranean kitchens, it brings a mild nutty depth that holds up well in sautés, risotti and stews.
About This Culture
This 10 ml syringe contains actively growing Pioppino mycelium suspended in nutrient broth, produced under sterile workflow. Use it to start grain, transfer to agar, or expand into fresh liquid culture under clean conditions.
Included
- 1 × 10 ml Pioppino liquid culture syringe
- 1 × sterile needle
- 1 × alcohol wipe
- 1 × natural hemp bag (outer packaging)
Reusable Hemp Bag
The syringe and wipe are packed inside an undyed hemp bag. After pasteurising, you can fill the bag with a substrate of your choice—such as coffee grounds blended with sawdust—to create a small, plastic‑free gift grow kit.
Use
- Shake to disperse mycelium.
- Clean the injection point with the alcohol wipe.
- Attach sterile needle; flame‑sterilise if working outside filtered air.
- Inject 1–2 ml per grain jar or about 3–5 ml per 1 kg grain bag.
- Incubate grain at 22–24 °C until fully colonised (~12–14 days); shake once at ~40 % if desired.
- Spawn to supplemented hardwood sawdust (e.g., 60 % sawdust : 20 % wheat bran : 20 % millet) at 10–15 % spawn rate.
- Fruit blocks at 17–22 °C with high humidity and good air exchange. Harvest caps just before the partial veil stretches.
Storage
Refrigerate at 2–6 °C on arrival. Best used within 2–3 weeks; generally viable up to ~2 months unopened. Do not freeze.
Batch Notes
- Produced in small lots; visually checked before dispatch.
- Light sediment is normal—shake to redisperse before use.
- Plate a drop to agar if you wish to verify purity ahead of scale‑up.
