Deep, ink-black caps fading to grey — one of the most visually dramatic mushrooms we grow. Dense texture and rich flavour. Cloned from a Japanese grocery import.
P. cystidiosus is one of the most visually striking species in our collection. The caps are a deep, ink-like black when young, fading to charcoal grey as they mature. The texture is dense and firm, and the flavour is rich and savoury. We cloned our strain from a Japanese grocery import in 2024 — it's rare to find this species available locally.
