The Horn of Plenty mushroom grows in European deciduous forests. It is also known as the black trumpet or trumpet of the dead. Don’t let this latter name worry you – this is a perfectly comestible, truly delicious mushroom. The deadly-sounding name comes from the fact that it grows in late autumn, at around the time of All Souls’ Day.
Our Horn of Plenty mushrooms are dried immediately after harvest, for optimal storage.
