Fresh Wild Black Trumpet Mushrooms

Fresh Wild Black Trumpet Mushrooms — Foraged in Season (1 lb & 5 lb Options)
 
Fresh wild black trumpet mushrooms (Craterellus cornucopioides) are one of the most prized culinary mushrooms in North America. Sometimes called the “black chanterelle,” these impossibly fragrant trumpets deliver a rich, deep, intoxicating aroma unlike any other wild fungus. Chefs treasure them for their smoky, fruit-forward perfume and their ability to turn even simple dishes into something elegant, layered, and unforgettable.
 
Delicate, thin-fleshed, and naturally funnel-shaped, black trumpets cook down into silky, concentrated ribbons of flavor. They shine in pastas, risottos, cream sauces, eggs, red meat dishes, roasted poultry, and any place you’d use morels, porcini, or truffles to add depth. A little goes a long way—but a lot goes even further.
 
Hand-foraged at peak season and shipped overnight to preserve their signature aroma and texture, our fresh black trumpets arrive cleaned, trimmed, and ready for your kitchen.
 
Whether you’re a home cook chasing restaurant-level flavor, or a chef looking for consistent, premium wild product, these are as good as it gets.

How to Use Fresh Black Trumpets
Rinse lightly or brush clean. Sauté gently in butter or olive oil until aromatic and tender. Their flavor intensifies as they reduce, making them ideal for finishing sauces or building the base of a dish.
They also dry exceptionally well—intensifying in flavor and storing for years. Many chefs buy fresh to enjoy now and dry the extra for winter cooking.
