Trumpet
The trumpet is the hollow, vase-shaped fruiting body of Craterellus species—thin-fleshed, fragrant, and grey-black to brown-black when fresh. Flavour is rich, smoky, and almost truffle-like when dried; texture is delicate and can crisp at the edges in a hot pan. Unlike thick boletes, there is little stem bulk—almost the whole mushroom is usable. Clean grit from the hollow carefully (split or brush); avoid heavy soaking. Sauté in butter, fold into pasta and eggs, or dry for powder and winter stews. Fresh trumpets are seasonal foraged or cultivated specialty items; dried are more common year-round.
