-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
 
Pleurotus eryngii is a large, edible mushroom native to Europe and Asia[i]. While it is rare in the wild, it is cultivated world-wide and popular for its buttery flavor and eggplant-like texture, especially in certain Asian cuisines. The species has many common names, including king oyster mushroom, French horn mushroom, king trumpet mushroom and trumpet royale—using the scientific name helps avoid confusion. The name “king oyster” does hint at its close genetic relationship to the popular, and also edible, oyster mushrooms (including Pleurotus ostreatus), a group of species native to North America, but the king does not look much like its relatives. P. eryngii has a thick, vertical, white stem (or “stipe”) and a relatively small tan or gray cap, rather than the big white cap and all-but-absent horizontal stipe familiar to American mushroom hunters.
