Dried mushroom

The Horn-of-Plenty is the common Craterellus Cornucopioides, known also as the Horn-Like Cratarellus. The Horn-of-Plenty is known in France as the Trompette des Maures, in Gremany as Herbsttrompeten, in Italia as the Corno Dell'Abbondanza. This mushroom is a black relative of the chanterelle. Smaller in size than the orange chanterelle, the caps are funnel shaped and hollow all the way down to the base of the stem. It has been well described as a black Petunia. The texture is crisp and firm, like the Black Fungus, but more tasty.
