Horn of Plenty (Craterellus cornucopioides)

The Horn of Plenty is a delicious edible mushroom. It is less abundant than the most important commercial mushrooms in Finland. The Horn of Plenty favors mesic herb-rich forests and groves, where it is easily camouflaged among other vegetation due to its grey-black coloration. They look rather unattractive, but have very good flavor. When dried their flavor even improves, acquiring black truffle notes and it can be added as a potent flavoring to other foods. It can be used as an ingredient e.g. in soups, sauces, and stews.

Add nutrition and flavor to sauces, soups, pies, stews, warm sandwiches, omelettes, salads, smoothies, use as spice when crushed and when soaked use as fresh mushrooms.
