Extra Large Size

While different crops across the country yield different kernel sizes, these Missouri grown, extra large kernels are known for their consistent and reliable crop yields. This size offers more surface area for coatings and glazes to stick to.

Yellow Mushroom Popcorn

Mushroom-style popcorn is denser and more compact than butterfly-style popcorn. Since mushroom popcorn does not include any breakable "wings" like butterfly popcorn, it holds up well against stirring and coating processes.

Great for Toppings

Thanks to the larger surface area, this mushroom-style popcorn is the popcorn of choice for caramel corn and kettle corn. It can even be used to add gourmet glazes for decadent, sweet popcorn treats!

Convenient Supply

Compared to large bulk bags of popcorn kernels, these popcorn kernels are packaged in a 50 lb. bag that's less bulky, easy to handle, and easy to store.

Easy To Use

Simply follow the instructions on your countertop or freestanding popcorn machine to properly prepare.

Customer Q&A Ask a Question

What’s the difference between mushroom popcorn and butterfly popcorn?
The primary difference between mushroom and butterfly popcorn is the shape of the kernel. Mushroom kernels are more round and compact which provides a larger surface area for coatings to stick to, making it perfect for gourmet confections such as kettle and caramel corn. Butterfly popcorn has a more irregular shape with a number of protruding wings that allow butter and salt to be trapped underneath, making it great for movie theatres and concession stands.
My mushroom popcorn resembles the shape of butterfly popcorn, what am I doing wrong?
Mushroom popcorn requires a high temperature of at least 400 degrees in order to produce enough steam to open the kernels into their round shape. Popping mushroom popcorn at too low of a temperature or in the microwave will likely result in butterfly-shaped kernels. For best results, use the hot air of dry flow-through machines to achieve the perfect mushroom kernel. Although hot oil can also be used when making mushroom popcorn, a lower percentage of round kernels will result.
How should I store and pop my Carnival King popcorn kernels?
Store the kernels in areas at 50 degrees Fahrenheit, with 40-60% humidity. The popping temperature for the kernels should be at least 400 degrees Fahrenheit.

    The quality of this product is skeptical. The date says its fresh. When popped it is gummy and they after if sits awhile it changed to normal texture when eaten. However when coated it goes back to being gummy. I ended up throwing out the whole bag.

    PICTURE PERFECT! This mushroom popcorn is the best!
    from Sweet Sarah's Kettle Korn on
    These Non GMO mushroom popcorn kernels are ideal for popcorn recipes where the popcorn is coated with caramel or cheese, and they are less likely to break up into smaller pieces as the Butterfly popcorn does.
    from Home on
    This popcorn was a great buy. My family does a movie night every Friday so popcorn is always needed. The quantity is mind blowing and will definitely last my family a long while. It also stores well if you want to keep it for a later date.

    This popcorn was not good. I think it was old or something because it did not pop evenly and was overly crunchy/chewy when eaten. I would not recommend!

    Just starting our kettle corn business and this mushroom popcorn was a great buy. It pops great and is flavorful. Looks great is our bags.

    The popcorn works great with an air popper. I didn't have a problem with the mix version of popcorn. They were all mushroom popcorn. We are ordering these again.
    from Cake Kernels on
    The kernels really do pop large! This is a great option for making kettle corn as the sugar has lots of surface area to cling to!
    on
    I had a lovely time with popping this popcorn. The kernels have a high popping rate with few "old maids" when done. I used popcorn seasoning oil and sometimes a little butter, cheese powder, seasoning mixes, etc. Really good popcorn.

    Carnival King mushroom popcorn is Great tasting, crunchy kernels with few old maids. Great for caramel corn, but even great just plain with butter and salt!
