Note: The black trumpet mushroom, otherwise known as the "horn of plenty," is a wild variety that has a deliciously rich and elegant buttery flavor. For the most part, they are imported or harvested wild and are available in many specialty produce markets. The chanterelle mushroom is a great substitute for the horn of plenty.
