This recipe uses King Trumpet mushrooms

King Trumpet Flavor and texture

King trumpet mushrooms have a delicate, nutty flavor and a firm, meaty texture. When cooked, the king trumpet’s texture mimics seafood, like scallops. In fact, when its thick stem is sliced crosswise, the result can appear just like scallops, too. But the culinary creativity doesn’t end there; cut large king trumpet mushrooms lengthwise for slices that are ideal for grilling, sautéing, roasting, and any other cooking application that puts them at the center of the plate. They can also be fork-shredded for serving as a meaty option for barbeque sandwiches, tacos, or serving atop grilled meats.
