VIGOROUS MOUNTAINS Organic Dried Edible Black Fungus Wood Ear Mushrooms Auricularia Auricula-judae for Cooking (4OZ)

Good size and they all look uniform and easy to rehydrate before throwing into a stir fry.

I throw these in my hot pots and pretty much any soup they’re really good.

After soaking in cold water for two hours and draining the water, the wood ear mushrooms had already become slightly soft. I believe good wood ear mushrooms shouldn't become sticky even after soaking in cold water for a long time. After being refrigerated, the wood ear mushrooms continued to soften until they became mushy. I had to throw them all away. I absolutely do not recommend buying these.

Great flavor and texture. Wished that they could be larger in size.

Yummy. Very flavorful. I grow many types of mushrooms, so I’m picky when buying dried from a vendor. Delicate, woodsy, and earthy musty…not like socks….earthy in a very welcome sense of the word. DO NOT over rehydrate. In fact, under rehydrate for use in soups. Delicate. Not like rehydrating a Shitake! I’ll admit I got busy, once and oops. You’ll lose all the flavor, and wonderful scents. They will become gelatinous and tasteless.

Just as expected. Quality product. Rapid delivery.

This item was my second purchase. The first black fungus was good. This second package has a 5-20-2025 expiration date. I soaked them in warm water as I always do but they turned to a soft slimy mush. I have no idea why but I am not going to buy this brand again. I am worried they could cause illness.

Made hot and sour soup. This was perfect.
