King trumpet

The mild, delicate flavour of king

trumpet mushrooms comes as a

surprise when you consider their

ample size. The large stems and caps

hold their shape when roasted or

grilled, making them a great meat

alternative. Choose king trumpet

mushrooms with unblemished

creamy-white stems and smooth

tan caps.
