Pleurotus eryngii | Sustainably Grown by Silver Lake Mushrooms
Majestic, meaty, and irresistibly savory, King Trumpet mushrooms stand out in both appearance and flavor. With thick stems and trumpet-shaped caps, these noble fungi offer chefs and food lovers a satisfying plant-based protein option that looks as good as it tastes.
What Makes King Trumpet Mushrooms Special?
Regal Form & Size
These mushrooms feature tall, robust white stems capped by smaller, flat brown tops—looking like miniature trumpets or French horns in your hands. Among the largest members of the oyster family, they bring both visual presence and culinary gravitas to any dish.
Meaty Texture & Deep Umami
The thick stems deliver a firm, chewy bite that’s often likened to scallops, abalone, or even tender meat. When cooked, they develop rich umami depth, a slightly sweet butteriness, and crisp caramelized edges—especially when seared or grilled.
Functional Nutrition for Thoughtful Eating
King Trumpets are rich in:
• Ergothioneine and selenium, potent antioxidants that combat oxidative stress and support cellular health
• Beta-glucans, which support immune strength and reduce inflammation
• Fiber, B-vitamins, potassium, phosphorus, and plant-based protein, supporting heart, metabolic, and digestive health
Our Cultivation Practices
At Silverlake Mushrooms, our King Trumpets are grown indoors on hardwood-based substrates under controlled conditions to ensure optimal texture and yield.
• Organic and pesticide-free
• Sustainable and low-waste
• Hand-harvested at peak quality in Canada
• Consistently shaped, spine-free caps perfect for chef and retail use
King Trumpets are both hearty and versatile:
• Sear as scallops or mushroom steaks: thick stem slices sear beautifully and caramelize while retaining moisture
• Shred for pulled-style dishes: great in tacos, sandwiches, or vegetarian “pulled pork” alternatives
• Roasted, grilled, or braised: stands up well in long-cooked stews, stir-fries, pastas, and grain bowls
• Score and crisp: scoring stems in a crosshatch adds texture and visual flair
