Jew's Ear Fungus On A Log.
This log is behind the shed on the patio. The fungus grows on it every year. The Jews Ear fungus is really called Auricularia auricula-Judae. It is known as Jew's Ear, Wood Ear, Jelly Ear, or by a number of other common names. It is a species of edible Auricularides fungus found worlwide. I don't think I would like to eat it, however it is often used in Chinese cookery so maybe I already have! Apparently there are 284 calories in 100gs.
Until tomorrow...
