Lovers of oak and beech trees, these choice gourmet mushrooms have an earthy, slightly sweet taste reminiscent of truffles. They thrive in mossy patches or leaf litter, and are easy for beginners to identify because their only lookalike is the devil’s urn, which grows on wood. Keep an eye out for their unique, bell-shaped caps camouflaged under your feet.
