Auricularia cornea was originally described from Hawaii ( Oahu) by German naturalist Christian Gottfried Ehrenberg in 1820. It was accepted as a distinct species by Bernard Lowy in his 1952 world monograph of Auricularia [1] and subsequently confirmed as distinct by molecular research, based on cladistic analysis of DNA sequences.

Auricularia polytricha, originally described from India ( Eastern Ghats) by French mycologist Camille Montagne in 1834, is a probable later synonym. [2] Vernacular names [ edit ] According to Chinese medicine practitioners, eating dried and cooked wood ear can have health benefits for people with high blood pressure or cancer, and can prevent coronary heart disease and arteriosclerosis. [5] Auricularia cornea is usually sold in dried form, and needs to be soaked in water before use. While almost tasteless, it is prized for its slippery but slightly crunchy texture, and its potential nutritional benefits. [8] The slight crunchiness persists despite most cooking processes. [9] Auricularia cornea is coarser than Auricularia heimuer, and is more likely to be used in soups rather than stir-fries. [10] So, Yan-kit (16 January 2015). Yan-Kit's Classic Chinese Cookbook.

Auricularia cornea grows on dead fallen or standing wood of broadleaf trees. The species is widely distributed in southern Asia, Africa, Australasia and the Pacific, and South America. [2] [3] Uses [ edit ] Mun mushrooms are a staple ingredient in many Chinese dishes. Added to soups, sauces or wok dishes. These mushrooms are very healthy and easy to use, because they perfectly absorb the aromas and flavors of other spices. After soaking, they increase in volume.
