Agrocybe aegerita : Pioppino, Black Poplar Mushroom Culture Slant

This is a sweet flavored mushroom that fruits readily within a completely sealed MycoBag(TM). This is good news for budding mycologists that don't want to worry about contamination and sterility problems. The complete life cycle can be contained and observed in the sealed sterile MycoBag(TM) environment. We ran a few tests and found this species will fruit weakly within a sealed Grain Based MycoBag(TM) but produces far better results in a wood-based bag. Fruiting was stimulated when the bag was exposed to fairly cool temperatures around 50-60 degrees F.

Advanced growers with good climate controlled fruiting chambers may want to apply a casing layer to increase yields.

After two flushes the Wood Based MycoBag(TM) was buried outdoors under some vegetable plants which resulted in a small crop of mushrooms.

*Note: Culture supplied as living mycelium in a test tube slant. Culture can be stored under refrigeration for several months. Slants are best suited for long distance travel, international shipments, or long term culture storage. To ensure freshness of culture, slant requests are made to order, please allow 2-4 weeks for processing and shipment.
