King Trumpet mushrooms, botanically classified as Pleurotus eryngii, are the largest edible variety in the Pleurotus genus and are members of the Pleurotaceae family. Also known as the Royal Trumpet mushroom, French Horn mushroom, Cardoncello, Eryngii, King Oyster, and King Trumpet, King Trumpet mushrooms are unique as they are resistant to extreme environmental conditions such as a hot desert or a humid climate.

They are also unique in their symbiotic preferences as they feed off of the roots of herbaceous plants. King Trumpet mushrooms are rare to find in the wild and are predominately grown in a culture composed of agricultural waste, such as sawdust and straw, supplemented with cottonseed meal and grain by-products. They are cultivated all over the world and are highly valued in Asian culinary applications for their dense, chewy texture and seafood-like flavor.

Best suited for cooked applications such as grilling, roasting, baking, sautéing, and frying. They can be sliced or torn into thick pieces and simmered or braised to create a crispy texture, or they can be cut into rounds to develop a tender, meat-like consistency. King Trumpet mushrooms are commonly used in stir-fries, soups, stews, tempura, chopped into meatballs or meatloaf, mixed into pasta, or grilled and served on top of barbequed meats.

King Trumpet mushrooms pair well with legumes, grains, fish, poultry, scallops, Asian greens, ginger, garlic, chives, chiles, thyme, rosemary, peppercorn, soy, vinegar, dry white wines, blue cheese, grapes, and focaccia. They will keep 1-2 weeks when stored in a paper bag in the refrigerator.
