Black trumpet mushrooms are a gourmet delicacy found in Michelin-star restaurants around the world. Also known as the poor man’s truffle, this fungi has a subtle flavor that’s best celebrated as the star of the dish. Expert foragers recommend looking for little black holes or nonsensical shadows on the ground to find them among the dead leaves. This species is a real rascal to cultivate, which is why you don’t see grow kits or black trumpets commercially available often.
