Shredded Woodear Mushrooms
Woodear
Mushrooms (Auricularia Polytricha) are cultivated all over the world
but grown for the commercial dry market almost exclusively in China.
This Mushroom has other names such as Tree Ear and Black Fungus. It
is often confused with the Cloud Ear. Cloud Ears are similar in
appearance to Woodear except Woodear are black with a brownish - tan
inner color. Believed by many to be good for the heart. Woodear look
like ears growing out of trees, hence the name. When reconstituted,
the brownish tan inner color blends with the black exterior color to
create a singled colored brownish black mushroom. The Woodear have a
firm, thick skin with a slightly crunchy texture and earthy flavor.
Shredded Woodear Mushrooms are thin, long slices of the whole
Woodear Mushroom.
Suggested Use:
Woodear Mushroom's texture is crunchy and its flavor is mild. This
Mushroom is very popular and served often in Oriental soups. Woodear
are often called for in pork recipes, though they can be used with
most meats.
