is a new species cultivated in Australia. Also known as eryngii, the king trumpet mushroom is one of the largest species of the genus pluerotus (oyster mushroom family). It’s called the ‘king’ because of its regal stout form, short gills and thick tender stem. King browns have a long shelf-life and robust flavour, from the top of the cap to the base of the stem. They team well with white and red meat, seafood, pasta and rice.
