King Trumpet Mushrooms

King Trumpet mushrooms (Pleurotus eryngii), or King Oysters, are the largest species in the oyster mushroom family, characterized by a very thick, edible white stem and a small, tan-to-golden-brown cap. Known for a firm, meaty texture and savory, mild, umami flavor, they are highly versatile in cooking—often used as a plant-based steak or scallop substitute—and retain their shape when roasted, grilled, or sautéed.
