A one pound tub of yellow mushroom popcorn kernels - about eight stovetop batches from a quarter-cup scoop. The smallest size we sell this variety in, and the right one for finding out whether mushroom corn changes how your caramel corn turns out.

Start here before you commit

Most people arrive at mushroom corn with a specific problem: their homemade caramel corn or kettle corn shatters, and the bottom of the bowl fills with sweet crumb. One pound is enough to make several batches and see the difference for yourself before buying two, eight or fifty.

It is also the size that works as a gift on its own. A single tub is presentable, sealed and reclosable, so it goes straight into a basket without repacking.

What makes it different

Mushroom kernels pop into a dense, close to spherical ball. Butterfly corn pops into an irregular winged shape, and those wings are what break off the instant you tumble popcorn in hot sugar. A ball has nothing to break. That is the whole reason commercial caramel corn is made from mushroom corn, and the reason your batches will hold together the way store-bought does.

  • Caramel corn and kettle corn - even coating, minimal breakage.
  • Chocolate, cheese and candy coatings.
  • Gift tins - survives packing and shipping intact.

For plain buttered popcorn, butterfly is the more tender choice and holds seasoning better. Mushroom is the coating corn.

Popping it

Do not crowd the pan; mushroom needs space to expand into a full sphere. Two to three tablespoons of oil or beef tallow heated until it shimmers, a quarter cup of kernels, lid on, off the heat when popping slows. Screw the lid back down between uses - the moisture sealed inside each kernel is what makes it pop.

One farmer, one field. Grown, cleaned, bagged and shipped by Princeton Popcorn in Princeton, Kansas.

The Best

"This is the best popcorn I’ve ever popped. Hard to believe there are any low review. I use an air popper and it’s so good!"

John-Mark E. (5/5)

Not very impressed

"Honestly, I was very disappointed in it both how it tasted and the kernels. I like the regular popcorn better to me taste better and not as many kernels s in your teeth and much less expensive"

"I must admit that I am disappointed. Maybe it does better in an air popper"

2lb Tub Yellow Mushroom Popcorn Kernels

"Poor popping results, half managed to come to full size, the others, some to none being popped. In addition, felt like chewing a bagel, corn rendering too thick unlike butterfly popping corn. No repeat purchase here."
