These are popping up all over our yard! We picked a bunch yesterday and sauteed in a little butter, salt and pepper. MAN, ARE THEY DELICIOUS! I think they may be the best tasting mushrooms ever. Better than morels even! They are very rich and flavorful, as well as distinct. They do have a hint of smokiness to them like the guides say. We've seen these in our yard before but had no idea what they were until this year. Darn it!!!
I’m only a couple hours away, upstate NY and your channel has been quite useful to me and my family, harvested many mushrooms in the last couple years and we thank you.
i’m sixteen and just came back from the woods across the street with over three pounds of these. the smell is so addictive. i was looking for vids on how to clean them to dry because i’ve never found this many before!
My first edible mushroom forage was black trumpets! I still remember the moment I first spotted one, then a whole bunch. Gorgeous when you can spot them. Learning that they make friends with chestnuts is an extra incentive, I planted about a thousand American chestnuts around Maine so far this spring and would be wonderful to try innoculating chestnut seedlings with black trumpets.
Good job planting those chestnuts! Since this comment is 3 years old, can you give an update on how they're doing? This is what we want to do when we move to Western MA - replenish our forested land with native trees that are in trouble (or gone).
Things to confident identification I found 3 edible and medicinal firsts this year! Yippee.. picturesque-ly clean maitake, an eastern cauliflower mushroom, and a lovely chicken of the woods (sulfurous kind). . Also an old man of the woods (which was really cool.. stately and as you noted, very soft to the touch .. we decided not to consume "him") and several boletes. I am still working up to making a meal of any boletes. I live in New England . In your own experiences or network of mushroom enthusiasts, is it at all likely to find a boletus edulis on this coast? I have been seeing what I think were slippery jacks and what I am quite sure are painted suillus. Also the "chicken fat" variety. That one is hard to get past the name.. also slimy/tacky and pine needles love clinging on the cap especially. You recommended removing that pellicle anyway to avoid a stomach ache, in a different vid.
These are my favorite mushrooms, by far (followed closely by other Chanterelle relatives.) I've heard them referred to as the "poor man's truffle." Thanks for all of your fun and informative videos. Good to have a trustworthy source that's also interesting to watch!
These are my favorites now too! We just discovered them growing in our yard - we have lots of huge white oaks and moss ground cover - so they are very happy to grow here. Reading through these comments, I feel super lucky.
Hey Adam, I am blown away by your videos, all the quality info AND nice approach altogether. I have been watching your channel over the last few years by topics as I started to go out foraging, today I saw this 5yrs old vid and just like your most recent ones, full of quality info. Thank you man, the world needs more people like you. Cheers
I found a nice plot of black trumpets this late summer. I remember someone talking about them but wasn't sure if they were edible or not, Brought a pocket full home, then forgot them. Found them too late a few days later. Next year I will go back, pick some and give them a try. What a great year it was for mushrooms.
Just a heads up to Western PA foragers: I've harvested more black trumpets this year than the past 5 years combined. All of the rain and humidity has really helped the growth this season. Good luck out there!
I just found a large patch of these on the edge of my yard in the moss right beside white oak trees , and have been cooking them in butter , on a pizza and now have 2 trays of them in the dehydrator , cant wait to put some I soups , thanks for all u do , u are one of the best guides out there on wild foods
It's always exciting to find these! There's lots of great information here and I'm sure this will help the viewers find their own black trumpets. A couple of tips I can add are to hunt upslope which seems to make them stand out. Most of the black trumpets I find in eastern N.C. Are associated with beech trees. Also the smell of black trumpets sometimes is strong enough to help me locate them while searching quickly. If you can spot the first one, stop get low and look around because there are probably more close by. Scissors can be useful for cleanly harvesting black trumpets. Hope this helps.
Great tips, Thanks John. I love learning all of the information Adam has been sharing. He ought to write a big book for people to buy. I bet many of us would dive right into that! 🌱Be Blessed ღ 🌼
Another value packed video, thank you Adam! This is by far the most professional mushroom channel on UA-cam and I've been binge watching all your videos during the Corona pandemic (since March 2020). I love mushrooms and I've learnt so much from you in such a short period of time! Keep up the good work! Greetings from Helsinki, Finland! 🍄🙋♀️
Glad to hear about the association with hemlocks. Only ones I ever found were in the hemlock woods at the bottom of my property in NH. Called it the black flounced amazing because it tasted do incredibly good. Never could find them again though I looked for years.
I stumbled upon black trumpets next to chanterelles the other day. They are SO fragrant they intensify the flavor of other mushrooms in a stir fry. Dice them small and add to store bought mushrooms and POW, they taste way better.
I found your video about black trumpet mushrooms very useful. I had picked these many years ago in Finland. Today we went on a 10 mile hike in the White Mountains of NH. I saw shitloads of black trumpet mushrooms in many places. I was a little unsure so didn't really clean house. Your online explanation was very informative! Now, I know my hunch was correct. Tomorrow we'll look for some more!
Found these for the first time today while hunting morels in a forest of Oak, Hemlock, and Tulip trees in Fulton county PA. Love the videos Adam and you're always welcome to come up to camp with us mushroom hunting.
Referred to you by a friend because a dense patch of these sprouted beneath our oak trees. Looks like I will be out there tomorrow morning with scissors. Also Adam is a charming guide, thanks so much!
Great video! We found a flush of these while hunting up some Chanterelles today in central Alabama. Fried them in butter w/ some black garlic, onions fresh from the garden, and bacon; then added 'em all to some grilled NY Strips!
Also here in the state of Georgia, these like the same areas as red chantrelles (so long as they are NOT in mossy areas) The trumpets also seem to like ravines that get heavy run off water but don't constantly stay wet like streams.
Saw these mushrooms growing by some oak trees; googled theem to find out what they are and was very glad to find this video! Extremely helpful and easy to follow.
This season was and still is fantastic for the awesome black trumpets , found so much and its definitely one of my favourite. Mix them with minced meat like lasagna or spaghetti bolognaise mmm so delicious. You should probably fry them with some butter and olive oil and salt first. I also look for hazel trees where i find them.
I just stumbled upon my first black trumpets about 3 weeks ago in FL. Never seen them before and passed them up initially. While i was still hiking i decided to look them up and realized they are some choice mushrooms so i went back and found them and snatched them up. So glad i did because they were so damn delicious haha
Found my first batch yesterday. Wasn't even looking for them. Just stumbled upon them, and yes, they were in a mixed forest of hardwoods and conifers, and in a mossy area. Cooking them up tonight!
Hi Adam! Thank you for sharing all your knowledge! You have taught me (and my children) so much. I am not sure I have heard your story of how you began mushroom hunting and how you've obtained so much scientific knowledge at such a young age. Has it always been a passion of yours? We are so grateful for your generosity in sharing it with us. Happy to learn along side you!♥️
Allow me as a pro-ish mushroom hunter to just point out a few awesome things about black trumpets 1. they have no toxic look-alikes and are easy to identify 2. they taste GREAT and 3 is more so a small fact black chanterelles and black trumpets are different, black trumpets have no gills and are mostly smooth black chanterelles have gills there are other differences as well but thats the most noticeable one! Anyway great video and very cool also black trumpets are an AWESOME beginner mushroom because there are no toxic fakes!
Awesome video, thank you for sharing, also people might be a little confused with Devil's Urn, Black Tulip (Urnula Craterium) those can be found early spring before Morels.
Hi Adam, I have been binge watching your videos so if you see a spike in traffic from the UK it's me! I've also given you a shout out on twitter because your videos are so informative
Learn Your Land. Your channel is amazingly informative and educational. I just have learned something amazing now,today.Much appreciated.Keep your pace going,buddy. Cheers.
I have to say, I was surprised to hear that black trumpets grow together with oak trees. I only found them together with beech trees. I think, that might be because we in Germany have very few oak trees for historic reasons. Also, you said that they are clustered in groups of around five fruit bodies, but as I know them they come in heards of 50-400. I don't want to be picky, but that is quite a difference. Really great video, thanks :)
My older friend always called these the black chanterelles. They are often found nearby. Kind of a slow month (June) for mushrooms. Can't wait for chants should be great w all this rain in wv\pa!
My mouth was watering watching this video...and I could almost smell them! I found so many last year, I wish I would have dried some for the winter months. I'll try this year! :) They are so fun to look for...they make you look so carefully that you notice so many things on the forest floor that you may otherwise miss. Thanks so much for the video and I hope more people go out and enjoy looking for this mushroom! As long as it's not in my woods, that is. :D
Another potential lookalike could be the black jelly cup. I did find a small patch (3) of the black jelly cups and I did think at first glance I had found black trumpets but looking closer found they were not. They are generally more rounded like a bowl but the ones I found were shaped a little different.
Although I do not have your expertise another tip in our area is that areas of moss and lichens are likely places. They also tend to come up in the same area year after year if conditions are right
lol I like how this video started for some reason. I've been using you videos the past few months to learn edible choice mushroom, as well as pretty much any plant I look at (I mostly knew about plants already though), but now I know more.I'm from north of Albany, New York and i've found various boletes, coral, painted suillus, slime fungus, milk caps and reishi. As well as tons of amanitas and russula mushrooms but they're poisonous. Sorry I have no why your videos haven't gone too viral yet but i'm trying to spread the cheer.
It's the super nice types like this that keep you from getting discouraged about seeing all the fungly sicky feeling funny mushrooms everywhere. And easy to identify too. I will look for it and know some likely spots from going about on boonie stomps before. I hope everyone finds some.
That was awesome! As usual, your videos are so informative and detailed! I just found my first black trumpet last week by accident, but now I know where to look for them! Would you ever do a video on coral mushrooms? Thanks again for sharing such great info!
I've only ever found them growing from leaf litter. Also, the oaks we have here in N.E. Florida have leaves that look nothing like the ones you shared. They are very small and not lobed.
I enjoy and appreciate your videos and your sharing your experience and knowledge of the small things nature gives us. My kids enjoy it as much as I do.
Here is Massachusetts we’ve had lots of rain. Thus, a huge amount of trumpets everywhere. I just brought home 5 ounces. Enough to fill a large bowl. I’m going to make a duxelle and freeze it to add to omelets,soups or salads. Mushroom hunter for 25 years!
Hi, I'm a Mass mushroom hunter as well. I know it's past Black trumpet season but I have still now found the occasional chanterelle, here at the end of October! Mostly they are cinnabar chanterelles but two days ago I found a larger golden/smooth one looking perfect and firm (there are three types I have reasonably id'd in my area which is relatively near to the coastline). I would love to find black trumpets next year and oysters this winter if possible. My search has been limited but I have not come across much, if any- literature related to Massachusetts foraging. . It's all about NY, CT, PA. .. RI. I can't complain too much, coastal regions can be marvelous for mushrooms (whisper voice). I know there is a cool boletes ID tool online that MIT has created. If you like finding them, it is definitely worth trying. It is much less of a confusing setup than certain online keys, in my opinion. Well, let me know if you know anything other MA foraging types might find helpful, thanks! Happy Hunting
Great video. I wish I had seen it a week ago because I found one about 5 inches tall and more around the area. Bet you can't guess where I'm headed, lol.
I've consumed around 25 wild fungus in Eastern US. Have not had a chance to try these but I can confirm my favorites in order #1 Morrell no competition. #2 sweet tooth or hedgehog.#3 oysters.#4 beefsteak or chestnut tongue, this is the only wild fungus that is considered safe to eat raw and has a nice sour like taste. Its a unique sour though very satisfying. Happy hunting friends.
I’m enjoying your videos. They are very entertaining. My wife on the other hand is slowly being driven insane by all of these foraging videos when she turns on UA-cam.
Told myself I'm going hunting for these this year and I found 2 small patches about a meter across and a 3rd patch about 6 meters across. Could have easily collected over a bucket full.
There are a few ideas you can try pick the top variety - there are lots available. grow them in the best conditions - some eg oyster muchrooms like cool humid areas and may be put outdoors (I learned these and why they work from Gregs Mushroom Grower site )
Hey man love your channel been watching you for years before I launched my channel recently. Thanks for all your knowledge and amazing videos I am in the Catskill Mountains and pick many mushrooms but some are new to me like these black trumpets and today I found the mother load. Appreciate the effort you put in your channel for us to watch great work I subbed your channel
Thank you so much hubby and Buddy are in Pennsylvania bear hunting and came across a Black trumpet mushroom now I know all the details I really appreciate your videos thank you
thanks for the great info. i found dehydrated ones at the grocery store in turkey. hands down best mushroom i've ever tried. i'd love to try fresh ones. too - i want to look in the forest but i'm scared of the wild dogs.
Great I love the ones that are easy to identify,thanks Adam.It's been raining about everyday this week I gotta get up to West Virginia and get hunting.
I found a black mushroom today, that is growing in clusters, and has a black stem that gets green and yellow twords the base. It kind of looks like a morel , but I don't believe that it is one. I think it is growing up out of the buried roots of an oak tree. I am going to be searching for the identity tomorrow. The cap of the mushroom is shiny and smooth, and it grows into the stem like a morel or a stinkhorn. It doesn't have a cap that has gills or pores.
These are popping up all over our yard! We picked a bunch yesterday and sauteed in a little butter, salt and pepper. MAN, ARE THEY DELICIOUS! I think they may be the best tasting mushrooms ever.

Just found a bunch of black trumpets under black cherry trees, all within a couple feet of base. LOVE watching your videos!

We find ours on a slope of a boggy crick.. It's the only spot we found it... Every fall it returns

I used to pick this one back home in Sweden when I was a kid! Wet and mossy coniferous Woods is where I found it. These videos are so much fun!
Followed your tips on trees and moss and scored a nice black trumpet find in Sussex co NJ!
I found your video about black trumpet mushrooms very useful. I had picked these many years ago in Finland. Today we went on a 10 mile hike in the White Mountains of NH. I saw shitloads of black trumpet mushrooms in many places. I was a little unsure so didn't really clean house. Your online explanation was very informative! Now, I know my hunch was correct.

Surely one of the most underestimated mushroom. Thank you for the most precise and informative video

I’m just start really much interested in mushrooms, but know nothing about’em, and so nice to know your channel. Thanks for sharing.
I love your video, what you didn't mention is that if you find one "horn of plenty" you find lots, adore your videos
Mosquito at my ear at 9.15 mark was too real. Told my wife there's a bug in the room :P
IKR!
Yep im testing my bose headphones and that was too real!
Almost every video! Trippy.
I whipped my headphones off
i jumped
Great video! We found a flush of these while hunting up some Chanterelles today in central Alabama. Fried them in butter w/ some black garlic, onions fresh from the garden, and bacon; then added 'em all to some grilled NY Strips!
Having these with dinner. Thanks for teaching about them. Gave me the confidence to get out, find, and cook them.
Also here in the state of Georgia, these like the same areas as red chantrelles (so long as they are NOT in mossy areas)
The trumpets also seem to like ravines that get heavy run off water but don't constantly stay wet like streams.

Awesome video, thank you for sharing, also people might be a little confused with Devil's Urn, Black Tulip (Urnula Craterium) those can be found early spring before Morels.
Easy contrast when found growing in gravel parking lot. I left them there to multiply, but not seen again this year.
Listening with headphones, and at 9:13 I swear there was a mosquito buzzing in my right ear!
Thanks Adam! Great videos! Keep it up.
I think is Saprotrophic mushroom 🍄 , very nice your Chanel bro !! we are waiting for you in the woods in Italy 😃
We’ve been eating these this year thanks to you, best mushroom I’ve ever eaten.
Just found your channel today. Awesome videos! Keep them coming and stay well!

I just have learned something amazing now,today.Much appreciated.Keep your pace going,buddy.

I have to say, I was surprised to hear that black trumpets grow together with oak trees. I only found them together with beech trees. I think, that might be because we in Germany have very few oak trees for historic reasons. Also, you said that they are clustered in groups of around five fruit bodies, but as I know them they come in heards of 50-400. I don't want to be picky, but that is quite a difference. Really great video, thanks :)
Dude one of the best videos I’ve seen on you tube ! First time I even subscribed to anyone !!!
Adam- i find quite a few around the exposed roots at the base of Beech trees. I also find them in the type of areas you mention, Thank You,
Nice! Hope you're finding lots this year!
My older friend always called these the black chanterelles. They are often found nearby. Kind of a slow month (June) for mushrooms. Can't wait for chants should be great w all this rain in wv\pa!
thanks Adam. great video and as an added bonus, you provided some great identification tips to differentiate white oak from red oak trees!
My mouth was watering watching this video...and I could almost smell them! I found so many last year, I wish I would have dried some for the winter months. I'll try this year! :) They are so fun to look for...they make you look so carefully that you notice so many things on the forest floor that you may otherwise miss. Thanks so much for the video and I hope more people go out and enjoy looking for this mushroom! As long as it's not in my woods, that is. :D

Hello Adam, I'm a wild forager and mycophile.
I enjoy learning from you .
Super knowledgeable.
Another potential lookalike could be the black jelly cup. I did find a small patch (3) of the black jelly cups and I did think at first glance I had found black trumpets but looking closer found they were not. They are generally more rounded like a bowl but the ones I found were shaped a little different.
Although I do not have your expertise another tip in our area is that areas of moss and lichens are likely places. They also tend to come up in the same area year after year if conditions are right

As well as tons of amanitas and russula mushrooms but they're poisonous. Sorry I have no why your videos haven't gone too viral yet but i'm trying to spread the cheer.
Thankyou Adam for the detailed descriptive video on the Black Trumpet mushroom👍👍👍
It's the super nice types like this that keep you from getting discouraged about seeing all the fungly sicky feeling funny mushrooms everywhere. And easy to identify too. I will look for it and know some likely spots from going about on boonie stomps before. I hope everyone finds some.
Great video as always Adam, just found my first black trumpets on Wednesday.
Thank you for decoding the latin names! Something I've wanted to do with my botany for awhile! Great videos
You're welcome! Thanks for watching!
My most favorite foraged mushroom! What a great video! Thank you!
Love your videos and knowledge brother thank you !!
Ha! I was so into listening to you that when the video hit 9:13, I literally swatted the ear bud out of my ear to shoo away the mosquito. Great info.
Hi Adam, thank you for the awesome video! Here in New England these are very challenging to find so your guide is a huge help
That was awesome! As usual, your videos are so informative and detailed! I just found my first black trumpet last week by accident, but now I know where to look for them! Would you ever do a video on coral mushrooms? Thanks again for sharing such great info!
I've only ever found them growing from leaf litter. Also, the oaks we have here in N.E. Florida have leaves that look nothing like the ones you shared. They are very small and not lobed.
I love black trumpets!
Up in Central NY I’ve only found them in mossy beech/hemlock regions, but we have much less oak here
The best mushroom I've ever tasted..not easy to see because it camouflages well with the soil, yes go very very slow
I enjoy and appreciate your videos and your sharing your experience and knowledge of the small things nature gives us. My kids enjoy it as much as I do.
Here is Massachusetts we’ve had lots of rain. Thus, a huge amount of trumpets everywhere. I just brought home 5 ounces. Enough to fill a large bowl. I’m going to make a duxelle and freeze it to add to omelets,soups or salads. Mushroom hunter for 25 years!
Hi, I'm a Mass mushroom hunter as well.
I know it's past Black trumpet season but I have still now found the occasional chanterelle, here at the end of October! Mostly they are cinnabar chanterelles but two days ago I found a larger golden/smooth one looking perfect and firm (there are three types I have reasonably id'd in my area which is relatively near to the coastline).
I would love to find black trumpets next year and oysters this winter if possible. My search has been limited but I have not come across much, if any- literature related to Massachusetts foraging. . It's all about NY, CT, PA. .. RI.
I can't complain too much, coastal regions can be marvelous for mushrooms (whisper voice).
I know there is a cool boletes ID tool online that MIT has created. If you like finding them, it is definitely worth trying. It is much less of a confusing setup than certain online keys, in my opinion.
Well, let me know if you know anything other MA foraging types might find helpful, thanks! Happy Hunting
Great video. I wish I had seen it a week ago because I found one about 5 inches tall and more around the area. Bet you can't guess where I'm headed, lol.
Thank you for another great I'd Adam, I love these too, although I didn't find any last season.
Here in uk.
Great video here in California on the central coast northern California we tend to find them more near redwood trees and Tanoak of course
Thanks for the info Adam, I found this very helpful .
I've consumed around 25 wild fungus in Eastern US. Have not had a chance to try these but I can confirm my favorites in order #1 Morrell no competition. #2 sweet tooth or hedgehog.#3 oysters.#4 beefsteak or chestnut tongue, this is the only wild fungus that is considered safe to eat raw and has a nice sour like taste. Its a unique sour though very satisfying. Happy hunting friends.
I’m enjoying your videos. They are very entertaining. My wife on the other hand is slowly being driven insane by all of these foraging videos when she turns on UA-cam.
its been a great year for black trumpet
What a fantastic and detailed video!!! Great job!!
Thank you for this very informative video. I will keep searching!
Thanks for watching!
Dude,...I love this channel
Told myself I'm going hunting for these this year and I found 2 small patches about a meter across and a 3rd patch about 6 meters across. Could have easily collected over a bucket full.
There are a few ideas you can try
pick the top variety - there are lots available.
grow them in the best conditions - some eg oyster muchrooms like cool humid areas and may be put outdoors
(I learned these and why they work from Gregs Mushroom Grower site )
So is that poison ivy next to your arm in the beginning? Do you get poison ivy or are you immune at this point? Excellent video
Hey man love your channel been watching you for years before I launched my channel recently. Thanks for all your knowledge and amazing videos I am in the Catskill Mountains and pick many mushrooms but some are new to me like these black trumpets and today I found the mother load. Appreciate the effort you put in your channel for us to watch great work I subbed your channel
I want to go hiking with you! I could learn so much from you.
Wow! I'd love to see you cook some of these up
Hey man, great video. I've been hunting mushrooms for 20 + years and I really learned alot from your video.
Great video, as always. I keep learning so much.
Fantastic video! I have the best spot for these by my house in central nj. I saw them everywhere 2 days ago! I'll see how they taste.
im in watkins glen ny and I just found some today at the vineyard in the oak tree line too many to count.
Fantastic!!! Can't get enough! Just poured again in NEPA. Just need more free time to get out! Thanks for the Video.
Thank you so much hubby and Buddy are in Pennsylvania bear hunting and came across a Black trumpet mushroom now I know all the details I really appreciate your videos thank you
Interesting mushroom :) I've had it a couple of times... in France it's called "Trompette de la mort" - Death's trumpet :)
Just found your channel, it rocks!
Thanks Greg!
I really like mushroom stew's and the taste seems best if I cook my carrots then drop my mushooms in last! Great video!
That sounds like a great idea! Thanks for watching.
thanks for the great info. i found dehydrated ones at the grocery store in turkey. hands down best mushroom i've ever tried. i'd love to try fresh ones. too - i want to look in the forest but i'm scared of the wild dogs.
Hands down the best tasting mushroom, so close to truffle flavor, just found a spot with over 300 trumpets.
I just found these yesterday in the wooded part of my boyfriends yard! By the oak trees. I’m happy now.
Great I love the ones that are easy to identify,thanks Adam.It's been raining about everyday this week I gotta get up to West Virginia and get hunting.
Incredible! Thanks for sharing your extensive knowledge.
i love your channel - it really helps a lot and with so much knolage - thanx for all this !
I found a black mushroom today, that is growing in clusters, and has a black stem that gets green and yellow twords the base. It kind of looks like a morel , but I don't believe that it is one. I think it is growing up out of the buried roots of an oak tree. I am going to be searching for the identity tomorrow. The cap of the mushroom is shiny and smooth, and it grows into the stem like a morel or a stinkhorn. It doesn't have a cap that has gills or pores.
