Mushroom History

Pioppino mushrooms, scientifically known as Agrocybe aegerita, have a rich history rooted in Italian and East Asian cuisines. Traditionally found growing on poplar trees—hence the name "Pioppino," derived from the Italian word for poplar—they have been cherished for centuries for their distinctive flavour and culinary versatility.

In Italy, they are a staple in rustic dishes and are often featured in regional recipes that highlight their natural taste. Their popularity has spread worldwide, making them a sought-after ingredient in gourmet kitchens and among home cooks who appreciate high-quality, flavourful mushrooms.
