Which “Chestnut Mushroom” Is This?

“Chestnut mushroom” means three different things depending on where you shop, so here is exactly what you are getting. This culture is Pholiota adiposa, the chestnut mushroom of US cultivation, also called cinnamon cap. It is not the brown Agaricus bisporus sold as “chestnut mushroom” in UK and European supermarkets — that is cremini, crimini, baby bella or Swiss brown. It is also not Cyclocybe aegerita, which is sometimes called chestnut but which we sell separately as Black Poplar / Pioppino.

How to Grow Chestnut / Cinnamon Cap Mushrooms

1. Prepare the Substrate – Hardwood sawdust-based substrates and other appropriately prepared hardwood materials are commonly used for Chestnut mushroom cultivation. The same syringe can also be used to inoculate sterilized grain spawn, grain jars or bags, or an agar plate.
2. Inoculate – Inject 2–3cc (2–3ml) per grain jar or bag through a self-healing injection port, using sterile technique in a still air box or in front of a laminar flow hood.
3. Colonize – Allow the mycelium to fully colonize the substrate under suitable incubation conditions.
4. Initiate Fruiting – Once fully colonized, provide appropriate humidity, fresh-air exchange, indirect light, and suitable fruiting temperatures.
5. Harvest & Enjoy – Harvest clusters while the caps are firm and well developed for the best texture and culinary quality.
