    1. It is, and they are one of the few mushrooms that I will actually eat willingly. Lisa sent me a jar of some a couple years ago and they were amazing. Posted 5 years ago

Craterellus fallax is a species of "black trumpets" that occurs in Eastern North America where it replaces the European taxon Craterellus cornucopioides. C. fallax can also be separated by its yellow-orange spore print, where Craterellus cornucopioides has a white spore print.
