Pioppino Mushroom

Pioppino mushrooms, also known as black poplar mushrooms, feature slender, firm stems and small, dark brown caps with a velvety texture. Their flavor is rich and earthy with subtle nutty and peppery notes, which intensify when cooked. Pioppinos hold their shape well during cooking, making them ideal for sautés, pasta dishes, and hearty stews. They're especially delicious when browned in butter or olive oil with garlic and herbs, and they pair well with grains, meats, or roasted vegetables.
