Recent DNA studies suggest that Craterellus cornucopioides and Craterellus fallax are the same mushroom even though they have slightly different looks and spore print colors. Hopefully, DNA analysis will sort out some of the taxonomic mess we have with this and other groups. Maybe it will generate even more confusion. Who knows? People can wrangle over which is which but I take it in stride and have eaten all types without incident. Every type of Craterellus I have tried has been absolutely great.
