We are having a wet spring....and tree ears
auricularia auricula 'brown ear fungus' are appearing (these were on a standing dead
hickory). We have tried to eat them in the past and they weren't very palatable....I don't remember how I tried to cook them, probably something simple as that is what I usually do for a new food...see how it tastes plain before I try to cover it up/add to it's flavor or lack of.
anybody have a good way to use these? ...just the name is a little off putting to begin with
