King Oyster and King Trumpet (Trumpet Royale)

King oyster mushrooms bear little resemblance to oyster mushrooms. The king oyster somewhat resembles a bowling pin in its shape. Most of the mushroom is a thick, white, edible stem, topped with a small tan‐colored cap.
The king trumpet , also known as trumpet royale, is a smaller version of the king oyster, with a shorter stem and larger cap, which is slightly trumpet‐shaped.
The king oyster and king trumpet are best marinated and then grilled or roasted in order to render them tender and moist. If the mushroom is to be sautéed or stir‐fried, it needs to be sliced before cooking. Both mushrooms taste great with chicken and fish dishes. Or try slicing the stems one‐half inch thick and sauté ing with baby scallops!
