About

Pleurotus eryngii is the largest species in the Pleurotus genus. It’s common names include King Trumpet, King Oyster, and French Horn mushroom. This mushroom is native to the Mediterranean and has thick white stems and flat caps, with a firm and meaty texture throughout. The flavor is rich and seafood-like, and is commonly prepared as a vegetarian scallop alternative when the stem is sliced crosswise and seared. They can also be sliced vertically, diced into cubes, or fork-shredded to add into sandwiches as a vegetarian pulled pork. King Trumpets are a more finicky mushroom species to grow; they prefer cooler temperatures and high humidity. When humidity falls lower than their liking, they are not very forgiving.
