The most common vernacular names are cornucopia for its shape, trumpet of the dead, trumpet of death for its black color and its abundance around All Saints' Day (a legend associates them with the dead who emerge from the earth to mouth these trumpets and perform a concert audible only to them), or even black chanterelle (Anglo-Saxon). From the same family as the chanterelle, it is used in the same way, but its black color allows for significant color contrasts on the plate; for example, the effect is striking with fresh pasta cooked in cream. This very widespread species grows in groups mainly in deciduous forests (beech, oak, hazel, etc.) or sometimes under coniferous forests, appreciating heavy and very humid soils (clay, for example). These chanterelles grow in troops, almost in carpets among the litter of dead leaves, in dark places. They appear in autumn (August to November), and can be very abundant after heavy rains. This mushroom is sometimes difficult to distinguish from the ground because of its dark color, its irregular shape, its small size and because it is often covered with dead leaves. In addition to a very low calorie content, the trumpet of death contains a large quantity of quality proteins and fibers which contribute to the proper functioning of the body and intestinal transit. From a nutritional point of view, this mushroom contains a large quantity of vitamins and minerals essential to health. Among them, we can cite potassium, phosphorus, iron and even vitamins D, E and K. Preparation tip: Drain the Trumpets of Death. Brown them in a butter-oil mixture. Season to your taste. Add fresh cream and serve with a veal escalope for example.
