I had the best spring roll I've ever had the other day in Hong Kong. The main ingredient was this mushroom.
It was simply fantastic
I love how Elder Wood just pops in the winter from every forest path, a rotting golden beauty.
I've only recently discovered your videos and thanks to this one I today identified some Wood Ears, brought them home, cut them up into strips and added them to a creamy mushroom tagliatelle. They seemed to take on the taste of the other ingredients and were quite delicious. Thank you 😁
It seems the bots automatically go for any videos with mushrooms or other keywords
Those crunchy little black strips in Chinese hot and sour soup is black wood ear. It is also delicious in the Buddha's vegetarian mixes...💚
I use Wood Ear mushrooms with other varieties to make a sauteed mushroom medley and use it in omelettes and on pizza. They are delicious. I find them on living sycamore here in The States - Baltimore, MD, to be precise. Thank you so much for posting this video!
I collected some wood ears in the snow as well. I was thinking, I bet Marlo is doing this too!
The Mu-Err is not only suitable for cooking delicious recipes. Chinese culture also treasures Judas's ears as a medicine. It can also be sold as a dietary supplement. The fungus is said to strengthen the immune system and have an anti-inflammatory and haemostatic effect. The Mu-Err is used, for example, for circulatory problems or to lower cholesterol levels. Mu-Err mushrooms are rich in iron, magnesium, potassium and calcium and contain vitamin B1 and phosphorus.
This rather good education for me and all especially when I don’t know about type of mushrooms 🍄 next time in my channel I would be making mushroom hunts! But first I must studying so I won’t get poison one 😀 Thank you for an amazing video 🙌🏼🙌🏼
Its true that elder is very soft.. especially dead ! I just nearly slipped down a ravine (!) after trusting my weight to a bit of the branch i found some jelly ears on earlier (watching this as part of my ID journey for them) :)
Wood ear mushroom are the most delicious mushroom, they are my favorit out of all the mushroom
Nice video! Another example which shows you that a forest in winter isn't just a desolate wasteland, at least as much as mushrooms go.
Can they grow indoors? I live in dilapidated, moist 3 bed room home and have few rooms that could fit dozens of logs. I already have some oyster mushrooms growing on haybales there, but would like to expand into wood ears too.
I've got a ton of these growing on a dead tree in front of my house
It is completely covered at the bottom of the tree!
As always very interesting Marlow, and thanks. I’m also seeing examples of witches butter which hydrates at this time of the year. ( Exidia Glandulosa )
Another great video Marlow, thank you
This guy is a national treasure..........just wish he would include the medicinal value as well. 🙏🙏🙏
I have a dozen or so oaks and maples in my yard, that these dudes can be found on through much of the year. They also store well dried. A bowl of hot-n-sour soup daily keeps my blood pressure average, and I'm sure helps me fight off bacterial infections I never even have symptoms of. The ONLY downside I can see is, the thinning of the blood could be dangerous if I ever needed emergency surgery.
Found some wood ears today :) thanks for the info
These also make an unusual addition to the snacks table at any gathering: dehydrated uncooked, added to/preserved in Grand Marnier, as i learnt from Drennan of Fergus the Forager fame 😋 🌳🕊💚🙏🏽
Brilliant video
Fantastic food mushroom
You can also find on perfectly healthy examples of living elder.
Its the jelly strips in hot and sour soup.
A friend didn't believe me when I said you can find them in snow...lol also found a ton yesterday
How do I tell if it's elder?
We from asia we love dat jelly mushroom..my mothers favorit and asian lkke china are dis delicates...very expensive per kilo❤
I love foraging mushrooms in the snow, everyone tells me I am searching at the wrong time of the year and then I start listing off edible species that their great grandparents used to forage (I live in Germany).
So much folk-knowledge has been lost in just two generations here, it's really a bit sad, instead people go to the forest with their kids and construct tiny-yet-extremely-damaging huts/teepees/etc out of premium mushroom wood that ends up drying out and disturbing established fungus in the forest floor in certain areas. Often in oak forest this leads to spreading of the oak processionary moth over less populated woodlands that usually prevent the immediate spread. The dried wood this creates is also especially flameable and prone to catching fire in say a lightening strike.
Auricularia auricula-judae, (Jew's ear). Mostly on Elder trees, also been found on Beech, Ash and Spindle Wood.
Heya, the intent of this is a friendly informative message that explains how you might alienate yourself amongst most foragers and also a problematic usage that you might not be aware of. Do what you like, but...
"Jew's ear", is derived from "Judas ear" and was only first used corresponding to the first pograms against jews in Europe around the time the catholic church proposed that Judas was the "prototypical jew" and one of those who killed christ. As a result of this connection, even the name Judas Ear is kind of ruined though not nearly as problematic.
This name is only used by a few edge-lord amateur foragers who write pop books and exactly one expert named Harding. A 2023 review of historical context and mentions makes it clear that the origin of the name is fully antisemetic, especially considering classically recorded stereotypes of being wrinkled and often have darker skin tones.
In any case naming inanimate objects, food, and animals after minority and marginalised groups is a bit frought. I mean how many things like that are named "white man's ear" or "white people sauce"; it's really an absurd blind spot.
WORD OF WARNING: These pop like crazy when you fry them, or at least mine did. Couldn't believe the noise and spitting - had to stick a saucepan lid over them pronto. Like making popcorn.
Also some have maggots
I did not knew these are edible
wood ear chicken soup~
Always used to call em the Jews ear when a was a lad.
Hi Jay, so did I and most of my older books list them as such. At the time I never considered it, as it was simply in the books i read when I was young; but that name is considered by most to be derogatory towards Jewish people so I call them wood ears now instead.
I really don't want to start a debate on this everyone... *he says with great trepidation in a youtube comment...
That’s very considerate of you Marlow, to accommodate the sensitivities of others. Laudable.

The name is thought to have come from Judas Iscariot, who hanged himself from an elder tree. The word Judas was then rendered in English incorrectly as Jew.
@@Eueueyw false,
Harding (from whence your story comes) did not do his homework on the history of this word. In 2023 a review was conducted that found the first usage of "jew's ear" coming from the dark ages and corresponding to many of the first reported pograms against jews during this period. Certainly "Judas Ear" is the original word, in reference to the elder tree myth, however the catholic church and later protestant churches have often gone to great lengths to paint "Judas the Betrayer" as a prototype for all; i.e. to push the claim that "jews are not trustworthy and all of them are like judas". All indications are that the shift to "jew's ear" was entirely intentional and racist during this period.
Harding, an edgelord is literally the only person who publishes sill pushing the racist usage.
Further, the tendency for colonisers to name foods, inanimate objects, and animals after minority and minoritised groups is always dehumanising. I've never heard the albinised version referred to as "white person's ear", nowhere to be found is "white people sauce". There are countless examples of this phenomena and it is always dehumanising.
Obviously you're gonna do what you want, but I hope you actually care enough to consider that spreading this out-dated usage is not really worth the dehumanising and disregard of history.
Nice video. This species is very beautiful. Yesterday I uploaded this species to my channel. I hope you like it.
JEW !!!’s ear
naming objects after minority and marginalised groups is always dehumanising. the original name was "Judas ear". The name, "jews ear" (visavis a 2023 review) comes from a period when the church promoted that Judas was the prototypical jew and the name changed followed this policy and the pograms around europe.
today only one actual research "Harding" persists in using the antisemetic-origin name.
@@jesipohl6717 what antisemitism? Anyone is saying antisemitic but they are nazi themselves like Israel
These are supposed to be stewed with chicken. Not fried
So ! You can only make racist comments about the size of a tribes ears if you speak in Latin ?
Why don’t you go and make a petition to change the official scientific name?
@@ProfX501 it's already worked for the common name, I say why not! It's a good idea and there is enough data to show that the intention of the name is suspect enough to shift the Latin name. Latin names are far from immutable (or helpful) amongst mushrooms anyways. People have changed names for far less.
Honestly, it's very childish how some grown adults want to feel like they shouldn't be judged for persisting in referring to plants, animals, inanimate objects, and food by minority and marginalised groups names (especially the anachronistic no longer used common name of "Jew's ear"). It's literally dehumanising. Do we have "white person's ear" or "white people sauce" or a "white people rug". We do not and if you are white, they probably all feel very awkward, that's not because you are white that's because you are human.
Before the scientific name it was called a "Judas Ear" (due to the elder tree myth) and then ((actively)) changed, according to a 2023 review of historical texts (in contrast to Harding's unsubstantiated conjecture that this was accidental), during the period of the first pograms and efforts by the church to paint "Judas the betrayer" as a prototype of all jewish people.
If we foragers have been, in the absolute majority, happy to call it a woods ear or jelly ear all these years, perhaps a Latin change is possible after all.
Auricularia auricula-judae.................Jews ears.
Heja,
A 2023 review shows that this name comes from the dark ages and was made common during the pograms in a period when the church sought to paint all jews as like "Judas the Betrayer". colonising peoples have an odd habit of naming food, inanimate objects, plants, animals after minority and marginalised groups, this is alway fundamentally dehumanising.
There are no "white peoples ears", "white people sauce", "white people's shrub" etc.
Use what you want, but ultimately there is no question it is offensive to most of the people whose name it has taken.
