Pioppino mushrooms grow naturally throughout Asia and Southern Europe. It’s extremely popular in the Campania Region in Italy.
Why Grow Pioppino
They have a mild, nutty flavor – subtly sweet, floral, and peppery and are said to taste better cooked as this enhances the flavor. They have thick, meaty stems that stay firm when cooked and add an amazing texture to your favorite dish. They are especially popular in pasta dishes and risotto. Thyme and tarragon pair really well with the unique flavor of these mushrooms.
