Black Fungus

Black Fungus (Auricularia auricula-judae), also known as Wood Ear Mushroom or Judas's Ear, is an edible mushroom commonly used in Asian cuisine. It has a dark, translucent, rubbery texture and is typically sold dried. When rehydrated, black fungus expands and becomes soft, making it a great addition to soups, stir-fries, and salads. It has a mild, earthy flavor and is valued for its crunchy texture, which adds a unique contrast to various dishes. Black fungus is also known for its potential health benefits, including promoting circulation and improving skin health.
