Horn of plenty is a mushroom which practically cannot be mistaken for any other. This mushroom is difficult to find, but once you do find it, you realize a funny fact – you are, actually, surrounded by them, as if on a large, black carpet. The Swiss call it “Poor man’s truffle”, to the English it is “Horn of plenty”, while Germans see it as a “Deadly trumpet”. Regardless of its name, however mythical or bizarre it may be, it still smells divinely and is perfect when pickled or eaten cold as salad. This mushroom is at its best when dried and ground into a powder. This magic powder is then used as a spice, that secret ingredient that every mushroom expert and mushroom lover simply must have in his or her kitchen.
