Dried Tree Ear Mushrooms​ | What Is Dried Wood Ear Mushrooms​

Dried Wood Ear Mushrooms​ are a species of edible Auricularia Auricula fungus found worldwide. Also known as ‘Jelly Ear’ or ‘Mu Er’, these are popular for adding texture to soups and stir-fries and absorbing flavours.

Our Mu Er is from the north-east of China. This variety is thin and tender, and often fried with eggs. We recommend washing them in water, instead of soaking when using.

Wood Ear is usually black with no caps or stems – unlike most mushrooms. Also among their many names are cloud ear, tree ear or black fungus. Their crunchy texture and dark, velvety colour add an unusual element to even the most basic dish.
