Black Trumpet (Craterllus Cornucopioides), otherwise known as Horn
of Plenty, is considered a great delicacy. This fragile, trumpet shaped
Mushroom has a waxy, charcoal-gray outer surface, while the inside is a
velvety blackish-brown. This is an incredibly rich and buttery Mushroom.
This Mushroom can be found growing in large groups in damp deciduous
woods, especially under oak or beech, during summer and fall.
Suggested Use:
Black
Trumpets work well as a flavoring ingredient in soups and casseroles.
Black Trumpets are great in vegetarian cooking because they add a
richness and depth that is often the role of meat in a recipe. These
Mushrooms are delicious sauted and added to rice dishes, particularly
wild rice.
