Black truffleTuber melanosporum

or Tuber aestivumYou may come across the black and other types of truffle bottled or canned in brine. However, although the texture of the truffle is retained most of the aroma is lost during the preservation process. See also http://wiki.answers.com/truffles.htm.Chanterelle, GirolleCantharellus cibariusYellow, funnel-shaped mushroom with blunt ridges instead of gills. A related species having a darker cap (Craterellus tubaeformis, the Autumn Chanterelle) is also sold.Fairy ring mushroom, MousseronMarasmius oreadesSmall bell-shaped mushrooms with gills that are normally sold in the dried state for use in stews etc. This mushroom often grows in association with poisonous Clitocybe species and great care must be taken when collecting from the wild.Morille, MorelMorchella esculentaFresh and dried morels are available from shops in the UK. Morels lack gills and have a conical, honeycombed cap.OvoloAmanita caesareaA relatively rare species that so far does not appear to be available in the UK. However, you may come across fresh 'ovoli mushrooms' for sale in northern Italy or Switzerland.Pied de moutonHydnum repandumCream to pale yellow-coloured mushroom with spines instead of gills. Texture and taste similar to the chanterelle.Porcino, CepBoletus edulisMainly sold in the form of dried slices and used as a flavouring agent for sauces and stews. Many commercial mushroom soups contain this species as the major flavour component.St George's MushroomCalocybe gambosaOnly available in spring fruiting around St George's Day.
