bloem-kool: Jew’s ear (Auricularia auricula-judae) on an old elder on the estate of Reigersbergen. Known in Dutch (and many other languages) as Judas’ ear (judasoor). First time i’ve seen them in real life (and not in an Asian dish). These mushrooms are very floppy, and edible, but i dare not risk it, as i am not that familiar with mushrooms and don’t know if there are poisonous look-a-likes. Besides, it’s better to let them grow anyway, because i feel they need to expand their range as they’re very pretty. -- source link
