Pioppini mushrooms have been cultivated in Europe and Asia for hundreds of years (in fact, they are described by Pliny the Elder in Naturalis Historia), but their popularity has not yet exploded in American markets as much as they deserve – and we have been missing out! This small but formidable mushroom of the Cyclocybe family grows in clusters of velvety brown caps and fawn colored stems. Their flavor is nutty, sweet, and peppery, and their stems have a satisfying crunch that some people liken to the texture of asparagus.
This Pioppini mushroom grow kit Mini-Farm requires light misting to produce two to three crops over a two month period. Expect one to two pounds of organic mushrooms from your grow kit with proper care. Please note that grow kits given as gifts should be gifted and setup within about 7-10 days of purchase.
*Please note that mushroom grow kit Mini-Farms given as gifts should be gifted and set up within about 7-10 days of purchase.
*We guarantee your first crop. If you follow the instructions, your Pioppini Mushroom Grow Kit Mini-Farm may produce 3-4 harvests but each grow kit is handcrafted and can have different results.
You are not the reason it failed last time.
Most grow-kit disappointment comes down to one thing: a block that was contaminated or under-colonized before it ever reached you. We have cultivated specialty mushrooms on the same Moss Landing farm since 1982, and every Mini-Farm is built from meticulously pure cultures, spawn, and substrate — then guaranteed to fruit.
That is why so many of our growers came to us after another kit failed them — and stayed.

Grown on a bluff above the Pajaro River
Located in northern Monterey County in the coastal town of Moss Landing, our eight-acre farm sits above the Pajaro River, overlooking the Pacific. The steady ocean breeze and coastal fog make it an ideal place to cultivate mushrooms.
The same mushrooms our chefs buy fresh is the strain colonizing your Mini-Farm — grown on sterilized sawdust substrate, the way the Garrone family has done it for more than forty years.
