From the Test Kitchen

King Trumpet mushrooms, also called King Oyster, are the largest mushroom in the oyster mushroom species. Known for their thick stumpy stems and flat caps, these firm mushrooms deliver a burst of umami flavor and add heartiness to this vegetarian chili. To add more flavor to the traditional cornbread, we added sautéed jalapeno peppers and cheddar cheese.
