Dried Black Trumpet Mushrooms are striking with any dish. Most popular with french cuisine, this mushroom does taste best after being re-hydrated from a dried form. Dried Black Trumpet mushrooms have a robust, sweet, and woodsy aroma with subtle fruity notes. Once reconstituted, the fungi will unravel into a funnel or trumpet-like shape with wavy to curled edges and will have a smooth, slippery, and velvety consistency. Black Trumpet mushrooms are tender and chewy with an earthy, smoky, and rich nutty flavor, comprised of undertones reminiscent of cheese, truffles, and butter. The mushroom’s earthy, funky flavor, reminiscent of blue cheese, complements caramelized shallots and is often served with soft cheeses on appetizer plates.
