It grows naturally in Asia, Europe and North America, and is most commonly found on dead or decaying wood, especially on elder trees. The name &#8216;ear fungus&#8217; comes from the shape of its ear and its gelatinous-creamy texture. Historically, this mushroom has been valued not only for its culinary qualities but also for its medicinal properties. In traditional Chinese medicine, it is considered to be useful for improving blood circulation, strengthening the respiratory system and joints, and maintaining the general health of the body.    <\/p>\n<p>The high fibre content of the ear fungus can have a positive effect on digestive and intestinal health.<br \/>\nThis mushroom also has natural blood-thinning properties, so people taking blood-thinning drugs are advised to use it in moderation. In some people, large quantities may cause digestive discomfort. <\/p>\n<p>Consumption<br \/>\nThe ear mushroom is most commonly used in soups, stews and salads, after being soaked in water. Although there are no strict dosage guidelines, moderate consumption as part of a balanced diet is considered safe. <\/p>\n<p>Preparation<br \/>\nJust take a handful of dried ear mushrooms, but be careful &#8211; they increase in size by a factor of 2-3 when soaked. After soaking in warm water for 20-30 minutes, these exquisite mushrooms expand and turn dark brown with a slippery texture. After soaking and cleaning (cut off if you find hard particles) they are ready to use in any dish.<br \/>\nIf you are preparing a salad, blanch the soaked mushrooms in boiling water for 3-5 minutes, drain and rinse in cold running water to cool.  <\/p>\n<p>A strange-looking ingredient, but incredibly tasty!<\/p>\n<p>Colour &#8211; brown<br \/>\nTaste &#8211; characteristic, no off-flavour<br \/>\nOdour &#8211; characteristic, no off-flavour.<\/p>\n<h5>Mushroom salad &#8211; full of flavour and health benefits<\/h5>\n<p>Ingredients:<br \/>\n10-15 dried ear mushrooms (Auricularia auricula-judae)<br \/>\n2 tablespoons goji berries<br \/>\n1 tablespoon sesame oil<br \/>\n1 tablespoon soy sauce or rice vinegar (optional)<br \/>\nSesame seeds for decoration (optional)<\/p>\n<p>Preparation instructions:<br \/>\n&#8211; Soak the mushrooms: place the dried ear mushrooms in a bowl and soak them in warm water for 20-30 minutes until they soften and expand. Blanch the soaked mushrooms in boiling water for an additional 3-5 minutes, drain and rinse in cold running water to cool.<br \/>\n&#8211; Allow to dry slightly. If necessary, cut into smaller pieces.<br \/>\n&#8211; Soak the goji berries: soak the goji berries in warm water for a few minutes to swell them.<br \/>\n&#8211; Prepare the sauce: in a small bowl, mix the sesame oil and soy sauce (or rice vinegar if you prefer a more acidic taste).<br \/>\n&#8211; Mix the salad: add the soaked aubergines and goji berries to a bowl.<br \/>\n&#8211; Make the sauce: pour the sauce over the ingredients and mix gently.<br \/>\n&#8211; Decorate and serve: sprinkle with sesame seeds; serve immediately.<\/p>\n<p>Delicious!<\/p>\n<p><em>NOTE.
