Dried Wood Ear Mushrooms · Culinary Mushroom · 100g

Wood Ear mushrooms ( Auricularia auricula-judae ) are unlike most of the mushrooms you will see in a supermarket. They do not have neat caps or tidy stems. Instead, they grow in ear-like folds along tree trunks, dark and velvety in colour. You might also hear them called Mu Er , Jelly Ear , Black Fungus , or even Cloud Ear . Whatever the name, they are known for one thing above all else: texture. When cooked, Wood Ear mushrooms have a springy crunch that soaks up sauces, spices, and broths beautifully. They do not dominate with flavour. Instead, they add depth and bite to dishes. That is why they have been a staple in Chinese kitchens for centuries, often turning up in soups, hotpots, or quick stir-fries. The variety we have chosen comes from north-eastern China. It is thin and tender and often stir-fried with eggs, but it is versatile enough to work in almost any recipe. Our tip? Give them a quick rinse rather than a long soak, they will keep that lovely texture and absorb seasoning better.
