Craterellus fallax is a species of "black trumpets" that occurs in Eastern North America where it replaces the European taxon Craterellus cornucopioides. C. fallax can also be separated by its yellow-orange spore print, where C. cornucopioides has a white spore print. It has often been considered a synonym of C. cornucopioides.[1][2][3] C. fallax is mycorrhizal, forming associations with Tsuga and Quercus species, among others.[4]
C. fallax is a choice edible fungus,[5] although is not substantial.[6]
