Trumpets of the Dead
« on: August 25, 2018, 07:55:30 pm »
aka "horn of plenty," or "Craterellus cornucopioides."

I really love the taste of these late-summer delicacies. Collected about 2 pounds worth today. I like to add them to any cream-based sauce. Anyone else have a favorite way to cook them? Always looking for ideas.  -C-

Hey guys, been busy so I haven't checked this thread in a while.

These mushrooms grow with American Beech and Hemlock trees in a mutually beneficial relationship. The trees provide sugar for the mushrooms and the mushrooms help the trees absorb nitrogen from the soil.

Black trumpets have a very unique taste and smell. Hard to describe if you've never had them, but I'd say they have a deep, earthy and slightly sweet aroma/taste.

Andrew, that sounds like a great idea. Perhaps I'll give it a try!

BJ, I dehydrated a bunch so if I ever get out your way I'll bring some w/ me.  ;)

Ed, that meal sounds delicious indeed!
