The royal trumpet mushroom (Pleurotus eryngii) is the largest member of the oyster mushroom family, from which it gets another of its many names: “royal oyster mushroom.” The more common name “royal trumpet,” as well as “French horn mushroom” and “royal trumpet,” refers to the mushroom’s trumpet-shaped cap, which extends from a thick stem. Royal trumpet mushrooms are native to the Mediterranean, North Africa, and the Middle East. However, as their popularity has grown in recent years, they are now cultivated all over the world. They are especially popular in China and Japan for their umami flavor.
 Health benefits of royal trumpet mushrooms
 King trumpet mushrooms aren't just super delicious. They're also packed with health-promoting nutrients, like natural antioxidants. King trumpet mushrooms have especially high levels of ergothioneine, an antioxidant found in the mushroom's mycelium and fruiting bodies that helps reduce free radical damage and oxidative stress. L-ergothioneine is the only antioxidant that has been found to have its own cellular transport mechanism and is considered a "master antioxidant." Unlike other nutrients, L-ergothioneine is not produced by the human body and must be obtained from other sources in our diet. King trumpet mushrooms are also a good source of selenium, another essential antioxidant. Several recent studies have uncovered even more impressive potential health benefits of king trumpet mushrooms. These powerful superfoods have been shown to lower cholesterol and aid in weight loss. King trumpet mushroom extracts have also been shown to have antiviral properties and support bone health.
