A CLOSER LOOK
How to recognize it
The broad, fleshy stem is its most prominent part; the cap is relatively small. It is also called king trumpet mushroom.
In the kitchen
Slice the stem and cap for pan-searing or stir-frying. Its firm texture works well with a coating of sauce.
Size and cap color vary. Cutting across the stem gives round slices; lengthwise slices can include both stem and cap.
