    eryngii father and son

    aka king trumpet mushroom, French horn mushroom, eryngi, king oyster mushroom, king brown mushroom, boletus of the steppes*, trumpet royale, aliʻi oyster *According to wikipedia, this is misleading nomenclature because boletus (which has pores) and eryngii (which has gills) are of different orders.
