The Black Poplar Mushroom is known for its delicious taste and was already cultivated in ancient Rome, where ripe mushroom caps were arranged between poplar wood. The convex brown caps of the young mushrooms expand to plane at maturity. The stem is white with a well-developed membranous ring. The texture is crunchy and the fragrance is mealy.

It is very simple to apply a mushroom bed in your garden!
The perfect time is spring, when the temperatures are higher then 0 ° celsius during night. We provide ready colonised wood-chips substrate for inoculation of an outdoor bed. Just mix the spawn with suitable substrate (i.e. wood chips or straw) and keep it wet! It is also possible to use rye grain for outdoor inoculation, but grain attracts to rats, mouse an other animals who eat the whole mycelium.

Depending on the species the first fruiting bodies will appear a few month after inoculation of the substrate. According to species, mushrooms will fruit for a few years, till all nutrients of the wood have been consumed by the fungus. With little luck, the mushroom will settle permanently in your garden.
