Extract from Wikipedia article: Craterellus cornucopioides, or horn of plenty, is an edible mushroom. It is also known as the black chanterelle, black trumpet, trompette de la mort (French), trombetta dei morti (Italian) or trumpet of the dead.
Craterellus cornucopioides is a species of fungus that belongs to the family Cantharellaceae. It is commonly known as the horn of plenty. In St. Petersburg, Leningrad Oblast, and north-western Russia, it typically fruits from late summer to early autumn in coniferous and mixed forests, often growing on the ground in association with spruce, pine, or birch trees. The fungus has a funnel-shaped cap that is 4-8 cm deep and 4-10 cm wide, with a wavy, wrinkled margin and a horn-like appearance. The flesh is thin, brittle, and white to greyish in color. It is considered an edible species and is highly valued for its unique flavor and texture.
