KING TRUMPET (a.k.a. King oyster) mushrooms are a large, dense mushroom. They are often used as a meat substitute for vegetarians and vegans, due to their meaty nature and because they offer the same amino acids as eating animal products. These are slow dried to preserve flavour, and are heat sealed into our 100% compostable/biodegradable resealable zipper-packages. (no plastic, no trash)
