Our Costco has been carrying them; I like to have them with soft-scrambled
eggs on toast or in Chicken Chasseur, but I haven't done either recently.

At the Auburn (California) farmer's market, there is a mushroom vendor who
carries what must be the all-growed-up cousin of those mushrooms. They're
called "King Trumpet" mushrooms. They're about two inches thick, and lend
themselves to being cut in half lengthwise, brushed with olive oil or
butter, and grilled.

I think Om posted about the king trumpet a year or so ago. They look
interesting. These look like juvenile trumpets (think portobello/baby
bell). Do they have a distinctive flavor or would we be paying more
just because they look different?

Well, the shape is convenient; you can do things with them that you can't do
with other mushrooms. Their flavor is not as distinctive as porcini, morels,
or chanterelles; it's a bit delicate and not as woody as some other
mushrooms.

They were King Oysters. :-)
They look like a similar mushroom to what she posted, but hers look to
be a bit more tender. Slightly different cap and gill shape, as well as
color.

I'm not convinced (yet) that these are the same thing that Koko posted.

Toooooo many mushrooms look so very similar. It's what makes wild
mushroom hunting so terribly dangerous unless you know exactly what you
are doing.

They (King Oysters) were fun. I added them to stir fry but next time I
run across them, I want to try slicing them lenth-wise and grilling them.

I will keep an eye out tho' for the ones Koko posted. They look
delicious.

I like the oyster mushrooms also.

I'm going to saute them a little and put them in a soft scramble like
Bob suggested. That sounds delicious.

Those are pretty common in the organic sections of grocery stores here in
NS. I find them very meaty and dense, but tastey.

As are oyster mushrooms in general. :-)

As soon as I can get the den closet cleaned out, I want to make space to
try to grow some. The packs are not expensive:

It's just too cold or too hot to try to grow them outdoors. I'm going to
have to dedicate indoor space. I want to try some of the other, more
expensive varieties as well.

"Trumpet Royale" mushrooms are just a trademarked name of a cultivated
variety of King Oyster mushrooms (Pleurotus eryngii).
