Craterellus cornucopioides
Craterellus cornucopioides is a species of fungus commonly known as the horn of plenty, black chanterelle, black trumpet, or trumpet of the dead. It forms a funnel-shaped grayish mushroom, which is found in Eurasia, North America, and Australia. It is edible.
The fruiting body is shaped like a funnel expanded at the top, the stalk seamless with the cap, which is 0.5–8 centimetres (1⁄4–3+1⁄4 inches) wide. They grow up to about 10 cm (4 in) in height, exceptionally 15 cm (6 in). The upper and inner surface is black or dark gray, and rarely yellow. The lower and outer fertile surface is a much lighter shade of gray. The fertile surface is more or less smooth but may have decurrent wrinkles. It may have a dusting of spores, which are buff in deposit.
The size of the elliptical spores is in the range of 8–11 μm × 5–7 μm. The basidia are two-spored.
Craterellus cornucopioides has a smooth spore-bearing surface, but the rare, distantly related Cantharellus cinereus has rudimentary gills. The colour and smooth undersurface make C. cornucopioides very distinctive.
The forms Craterellus fallax (with a different spore colour en masse) and C. konradii (with a yellowish fruiting body) have been defined as separate species, but DNA studies now show that the latter should be considered part of C. cornucopioides.
Polyozellus multiplex has a purplish tint and Craterellus sinuosus tends to be more wrinkled beneath with yellower spores.
This fungus is found in woods in Europe, East Asia, North America, and Australia. In the American Pacific Northwest, it grows from November to March. It mainly grows under beech, oak or other broad-leaved trees, especially in moss in moist spots on heavy calcareous soil. In Europe it is generally common, but seems to be rare in some countries such as the Netherlands. It appears from June to November, and in the United Kingdom, from August to November. In Australia, they grow in rainforest gullies, often associated with Northofagus spp., appearing from January to May.[citation needed]
Because the mushroom tends to be blackish, it easily blends in with leaf litter on the forest floor. Some who hunt the species say it is like looking for black holes in the ground. It grows in groups.
