Flavour & Culinary Tips

• Flavour Profile: Pioppino mushrooms have a rich, earthy taste with a subtle nutty sweetness. Their firm stems and velvety caps add great texture to dishes.
• Recipe Ideas:
  • Sauté with olive oil, garlic, and chili for a quick Italian-inspired side.
  • Add to soups, risottos, or stir-fries for a distinctive, savory note.
  • Pair with herbs like thyme or rosemary to complement their mild, peppery undertones.
• Pro Tip: Harvest Pioppino clusters together for best flavour; they often grow in elegant clumps.

Care & Growing Instructions

• Unbox & Position: Place the kit in a well-ventilated area with indirect light.
• Mist Daily: Keep the block humid with a light water spray (avoid direct sunlight or strong drafts).
• Maintain Temperature: Aim for 15–24°C; if it’s hotter, move the kit to a cooler spot or air-conditioned space.
• Watch Them Grow: Expect “pins” within a week or two. Harvest when caps are still firm and slightly domed.
