Agrocybe Aegerita Extract Powder

Agrocybe aegerita extract powder comes from the fruiting body of the black poplar mushroom, a cultivated edible fungus sold in Japan as yanagi-matsutake. The fruiting body is extracted with water, concentrated and dried to a light yellow powder with a mild savory background.

The product is a 10:1 ratio extract with no polysaccharide percentage attached. It is water dispersible and milled to 80 mesh. The data for this botanical lists no powdered or standardized sibling, so the ratio extract is the only form described.

Agrocybe aegerita Identity & Plant Part

The botanical entity is Agrocybe aegerita (V.Brig.) Singer, a cultivated mushroom of the family Tubariaceae in current databases, which now list it as Cyclocybe aegerita. Trade and the master data keep the Agrocybe name. The part used in this Agrocybe aegerita extract is the fruiting body; mycelium and spores are not part of the product.

Common names include black poplar mushroom, poplar mushroom and yanagi-matsutake. The fungus is not the button mushroom Agaricus bisporus or the matsutake of the genus Tricholoma, although a Japanese common name uses the word matsutake. Fungal polysaccharides, mainly beta-glucans, are its principal reported constituent family. Several scientific names are in use for this cultivated mushroom, so the binomial and the fruiting body define the ingredient far better than a common name does.

What 10:1 Means for Agrocybe aegerita

Here the 10:1 figure means ten parts of starting fruiting body behind one part of powder, and it is not a measure of beta-glucan, polysaccharide or any other marker. The data lists no polysaccharide powder, milled powder or other sibling of Agrocybe aegerita, so the ratio extract is the single form described.

Choose it when the species and a whole fruiting-body water extract are the requirement. Because the same mushroom is sold under several scientific names and two or more common names, the binomial and the plant part in the table are the identifiers a buyer should match. Chemistry-based claims are not implied by the ratio.

Application Areas

Pale Capsule Fills

The light yellow Agrocybe aegerita powder is hidden by standard shells. Mushroom extracts are hygroscopic and cohesive, so run a flow check on the lot before filling and weigh capsules at intervals to catch fill drift during the run.

Mushroom Stick Packs

Powder sticks with Agrocybe aegerita extract can offer a mild mushroom drink with a faint savory-sweet taste, best paired with oat, rice or cocoa bases. Taste a plain-water sample first, and screen the powder into the premix to avoid lumps.

Mixed-Mushroom Sachets

Sachets can combine the extract with shiitake, maitake or reishi extracts in a mushroom blend. Match particle sizes and screen the powders so the blend does not separate, and compare the first and last sachets of each filling run.

Mushroom Gummies

In gummies the extract adds a pale tint and a light mushroom note that pairs with caramel, vanilla or maple-style flavors. Add it after cooking and cooling slightly, and test gel set, because polysaccharide-bearing extracts can thicken the mass.

Mushroom-Enriched Cereal Bars

A cereal bar hides the light yellow powder well, so Agrocybe aegerita extract adds only a faint savory-sweet background. Stir it into the dry oat and rice mix before the syrup is added, and break up any lumps by sieving, since wet mushroom powder clumps.

Formulation Notes

The extract is a light yellow powder with a mild savory, mushroom-like smell and a faintly sweet taste. It disperses in water to a pale yellow, slightly hazy liquid, and dissolved polysaccharides can add a little body. Allow a test dispersion to stand before judging clarity and viscosity. Because mushroom extracts absorb moisture quickly, weigh the powder promptly and keep the container sealed between uses. In the blender, mix it into a share of the filler and screen the premix. Check an opened lot against a retained sample to catch darkening early.
