Cyclocybe aegerita, commonly known as the Black Poplar mushroom, is a highly sought-after fungus both for its culinary excellence and medicinal properties. Native to Europe and Asia, this mushroom grows naturally on decaying wood, especially on poplar and willow trees. Its rich, earthy flavor and firm texture make it a favorite among chefs and mushroom enthusiasts.

Our Black Poplar Liquid Culture Syringe contains a pure, carefully isolated sample of mycelium nurtured and expanded in our sterile laboratory. This 10 mL/cc syringe is ideal for inoculating substrates with precision and ensuring rapid colonization. Each syringe is guaranteed to be contaminant-free, ensuring a high success rate for your cultivation projects. We offer a free replacement if needed.

Use malt extract agar (MEA) or potato dextrose agar (PDA) for initial culturing of the mycelium.

Incubate Petri dishes at 24-27°C (75-80°F) in a dark environment until fully colonized.
Grain spawn (oats, rye, millet, or sorghum) is recommended for inoculating the bulk substrate.

Sterilize the grains and inoculate with the colonized agar from the Petri dishes.

Incubate the grain spawn at 24-27°C (75-80°F) until fully colonized.
Cyclocybe aegerita thrives on a variety of wood-based substrates, particularly hardwood sawdust supplemented with bran or other organic matter.

Ensure the substrate is properly sterilized or pasteurized to prevent contamination.
Optimal temperature for mycelium growth: 20-24°C (68-75°F)

Optimal temperature for fruiting: 16-20°C (60-68°F)
Maintain high humidity levels of 85-95% during both mycelium growth and fruiting stages.

Regular misting helps maintain adequate moisture levels.
Low to moderate light conditions are sufficient for Cyclocybe aegerita. Indirect sunlight or artificial light that simulates natural light can be used.

Light is necessary for proper development of the fruiting bodies.
Proper air exchange is essential to provide fresh air and to prevent the buildup of carbon dioxide, which can inhibit the growth of the fungus.

Ensure good ventilation to maintain appropriate humidity and temperature conditions.
The ideal pH range for cultivating Cyclocybe aegerita is between 5.5 and 7.5, with a slightly acidic to neutral environment being most conducive to growth. Maintaining this pH range helps optimize the conditions for the mycelium to thrive and produce fruiting bodies efficiently. Adjusting the pH of your substrate according to these guidelines can significantly impact the success of your cultivation.
