Craterellus cornucopioides is a black, trumpet-shaped, wavy, folded margin mushroom with a hollow stem. The flesh is very easily broken and slightly leathery. The mushroom has a pleasant smell and good flavor, but is hard to find because of its black color, which easily blends in with the leaf litter on the forest floor.
