Trompette de la Mort: The Mysterious Mushroom with a Bold, Nutty Flavour!
The Trompette de la Mort, also known as the 'Trumpet of Death' or Black Chanterelle, is a wild mushroom highly prized for its unique flavour and striking appearance. Its distinctive trumpet shape and ruffled edges make it easily recognisable and its colour, ranging from dark grey to black, adds a mysterious allure. Despite its intimidating name, Trompette de la Mort offers a rich and complex flavour, with earthy and nutty undertones that deepen as it cooks. When prepared, it brings a pleasantly chewy texture that enhances any dish with a natural, umami-filled taste. These mushrooms are typically available fresh from late summer to early spring, with autumn being their peak season, making them a favourite for warming seasonal dishes.
