Black Trumpet mushrooms are one of the forest’s quieter gifts. They grow low to the ground, dark and ruffled, often blending into the leaf litter until you learn how to spot them. These mushrooms are gathered by hand in the beautiful forests of West Georgia, then carefully cleaned and slowly dried to preserve their deep, savory flavor.

Dried Black Trumpet mushrooms are prized for their rich aroma and concentrated umami. Their flavor is earthy and complex, making them a favorite for soups, sauces, eggs, risotto, pasta, and other savory dishes. A small amount adds depth and richness to a wide range of recipes.

Each packet contains a half ounce of whole dried black trumpet mushrooms, vacuum sealed to maintain freshness and quality.

How to Rehydrate
Place the dried mushrooms in a bowl and cover with hot water. Let them soak for fifteen to twenty minutes until fully softened. Lift the mushrooms out of the soaking liquid and set aside. Strain and reserve the soaking liquid to use as a flavorful mushroom broth for cooking.



Simple Black Trumpet Mushroom Risotto

This risotto highlights the natural depth of wild black trumpet mushrooms and is well suited for a slow, comforting meal.

Ingredients

Rehydrated black trumpet mushrooms, sliced

One cup arborio rice

Two tablespoons butter or olive oil

One small onion or shallot, finely chopped

One clove garlic, minced

Four to five cups warm mushroom soaking liquid or broth

Half cup dry white wine

Salt and black pepper to taste

Optional additions include grated parmesan, fresh herbs, or a drizzle of olive oil



Instructions: Heat butter or oil in a pan over medium heat. Add onion and cook until soft, then add garlic and sliced mushrooms and cook briefly until fragrant. Stir in the rice and cook for one minute to coat. Add wine and let it cook down. Begin adding warm broth one ladle at a time, stirring often, allowing it to absorb before adding more. Continue until the rice is tender and creamy. Season to taste and finish with cheese or herbs.



Storage

Store sealed packets in a cool, dry place away from light. Once opened, keep mushrooms in an airtight container. Dried mushrooms may also be frozen for long term storage.
