Delicious Royal Trumpet Mushrooms

 I love the occasional unusual mushroom treat.  Sure, I can get white or portabello at any store in the area.  But Royal Trumpet?   These were the CLEANEST mushrooms I have ever seen.  Locally grown, which is even better.  

Royal Trumpet mushrooms are hugely popular for their enjoyable savory flavor and meaty texture. They’re often used in soups and sandwiches — and as a vegetarian substitute for seafood since they closely mimic the texture of scallops.

I sliced them lengthwise (the stems I did horizontally) and sauteed them in butter and olive oil with chopped onions.  Oh so delicious. 

1/2 Pound was $10.00.  Much pricier than button mushrooms for sure.  But if you compare to fish or meat, it was a very comparable swap.
