Mushroom, Eryngii (Kind Trumpet)

Eryngii mushrooms, also known as "king trumpet" or "king oyster" mushrooms, have a mild, slightly sweet flavor with a dense, meaty texture. Their thick, firm stems can be sliced into medallions, shredded, or cooked whole, making them a versatile option for various preparations. When cooked, they develop a rich, savory taste with an appealing chew that resembles seafood or meat, making them an excellent substitute in vegan or vegetarian dishes. Eryngii mushrooms are delicious when grilled, roasted, or sautéed, and they absorb marinades and seasonings well, enhancing their subtle umami profile.
