    Is this the same kind of fungus as the black fungus in Chinese cooking? Looks really similar.

      Yes - although “wood ear” (Auricularia heimuer) is a different species and is not native to Europe before can however be used in cooking. I must confess I’ve not tried it.

        I really like the Chinese version so I’m sure I would like this too. I don’t think you need to be guilty about trying it
