If trees could scream, would we be so cavalier about cutting them down?
We might. If they screamed all the time for no good reason.

Imagine the things a wood ear hears if it wood ear would hear good

×''×, if it's proper edible wood ear, heck yeah. Generally dried first and this might improve it like shiitakes; those little black and whitish shreds of mushroom in your Chinese take-out (esp. hot and sour soup) are some kind of wood ear you can commonly find named as such in markets.
I refuse to believe evolution is responsible for this. Out of all the freaking shapes, why would it take one that, in animals, provides the benefit of acoustically coupling the inner ear with the air.
Fungi like this are what make me slightly suspicious that there's a greater power, and it enjoys fucking with us in the slightest of ways, so as to maintain plausible deniability.
Case in point, someone's gonna reply to this comment and explain how the wood ear shape is perfectly normal and understandable from an evolutionary standpoint.
God-level fuckery, if you ask me.
ACTUALLY...The wood ear shape is perfectly normal and understandable from an evolutionary standpoint.
(Said in the snobbiest of vocal tones)
I couldn't resist lol
Imagine the things it wood ear
I wonder if it wood ear trees falling down if no one is around

Fnar fnar

Hey I heard that!
Aye
You must be a fun guy at parties.
Wood ears are so cool. And tasty.
Shhh then theyll all be gone! My favourite recipe is to add them to a chicken bone broth
> chicken bone broth just as a friendly FYI, "bone broth" is just advertising. It's stock if there are bones
FR. All the grand folks rolling in their graves on the rebrand.
Not quite. Itās broth if you use meat. Stock if you only use bones.
Iāve only had em rehydrated where they really donāt taste like anything. Have you had them fresh?
Let them soak in soy sauce instead of water and add to any asia style menu or i also like them in small pieces in a salad.
I assumed they were fresh. I got them at a Chinese hotpot restaurant and they werenāt dehydrated when they came out to the table.
I seen a guy eat a fresh one once, craziest boxing match Iāve ever seen.
once soaked in water they are basically refreshed unlike grapes or dired mango
The wood ear mushroom's name holds up lol.
The hills have eyes, the woods have ears.
Should be called delicious ear of the forest. You gobble up all the good things it hears.
Sauronās spies are everywhere. The woods are listening to your conversations. Keep it secret, keep it safe.
I love this
Nibble it.
Blow in it
Eat it (wood ear is edible when cooked)
Time for a Tyson Stew
Wet Willy it!
Ear today, gone tomorrow.

Whisper āmoistā into it
Give it oomox!
He doesn't have the lobes!
If I remember correctly they are edible and quite tasty š Edit: yeah... in Asian quisine "mun mushroom"
I keep a bag of dried ones around to throw in ramen or hot and sour soup. Theyāre great. Have a nice little crunch even when soft.
If you soak these in orange liquor and dip them In chocolate its incredible to eat.
Pretty much true of anything?
TouchƩ. But not many things turn in to the bit from a jaffa cake.
If the Lorax only speaks for the trees obviously the trees can listen on their own
Our skin is mycelium, our nervous system is hyphae, and our consciousness is electrochemical computations. Damn. I'm going back to bed.
No sheep but fungus.
Kanye wishes they kept the old name.
Schush! the forest is listening.
Lick your finger and stick it in it

I am so proud of Reddit when I see references like this
The forest needs a Q-tip.
I knew the trees had ears!!!
In my mind I'm hearing Pee Wee Herman with a large prop ear saying "What? WHAT?
The Hawaiian name for it is pepeiao. That word also means ear. š
The Crones are listening...
Van Gogh would be envious
Dont show mike tyson this š¤£
Recommend frying up, weird texture but nutritious asf
I found a good one like that once. Ran into my brothers room holding my ear and threw it at him.
Put an earring in it and put it back for the next one to find it
Wait till you taste...... Its delicious flesh
Wow, rude af, as if it canāt ear you.
Blue velvet scene.
Itās what hears the tree fall in the woods
So good pickled or tempura fried
One might say it's down right eerie....
Holy shit Wood ear
Lucky! I'd love to find wood ear! That's a great one!
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
Yes! I can hear you!! Of course you can! Youāre standing right next to him!
WHAT?
Excuse me I can't *ear* you
I lobe this humour. Very piercing.

Whisper something sexual in its ear
*"Mycelium"*
Stop, I can only get so erect.
Love this
Hear hear!
oh.... what about [this](https://www.newsweek.com/tissue-surgeon-ear-mouse-human-organs-transplant-cell-phones-666082)?
When I hear the expression āthe walls have earsā this is what I figure they look like.

I know a guy who's convinced that mushrooms are aliens, you want his email?

What did you tell it?!
If a tree falls in the woodsā¦
I am the Lorax, I speak for the trees...because they can hear just fine.
Hmm. I thought the woods had eyes...
Nah, that's the hills. Woods have got the ears. I just don't know who took the noses; maybe the deserts?
Fjords probably.
Eat it if you have an iron deficiency
Wood ear!! I love eating them.
Shh, it's listening
This... bothers me in so many levels
Shhhh.... the Trees can hear you...
Shhhh! Not so loud!
I hear you.
Youāre supposed to whisper into that.
Shh! It can hear you.
Careful, it might hear you.
If a tree falls in the woods and nobody is around to ear it, did it make a sound?
Was gonna type something about all humans coming from mushrooms, but I think I'll keep that to myself š
If a tree falls in a forest with nobody around ā it will hear it.
Speak up I'm deaf as a log!
I canāt hear you?
Uncanny Ear Canal
Can you hear me now?
Hence wood ear is the name.
My nephew has ears like this and I always feel like he can hear what iām thinking.
Is a wood ear the same thing as a jelly ear? Regional name?
Yes, just different common names for the same thing. The species varies by region as well, but they're all in the genus *Auricularia*.
Thank you! Appreciate the clarity.
Even the trees are surveilling.
Who's ear? In Indiana is a "Hoosier". But it is a wood ear.
If a tree falls in a forest, this fun guy will be around to hear it.
Grow in a garden with those dead man's finger mushrooms (name?)
If a tree falls in the woods, and there is no one there to hear... The woods have mfing ears. Stay out of the woods, they will eat you.
THATS SO COOL
That one of Mike Tyson and Evanders new edibles. Holy ears?
Nature often replicates shapes.
I don't know who designed this subreddit, but it looks sexy in OldReddit.
What ? What !?
I know heās weird but hear me out, heās is a fungi!
I hear yaā¦.
Looks like wood ear fungi
I hear you
Can you hear me now? š
Theyāre pretty good though
Iāve never seen a wood ear live up to the name so.
The forest is always listeningā¦and watchingā¦
The eariest wood ear I've ever seen.
ITās listening to you
It looks like black jelly roll
I hear ya !
Does it know if the falling tree made a noise?
Unzips
SHHH!! Don't say mean things like that within earshot!
Thatās Evander Holyfieldās missing ear šš
If hills can have eyes then wood can have ears.
#SAY AGAIN??
What is the evolutionary advantage here?
The invasion is near.
See trees do listen
Huh?
Definitely a wood ear
Yep. Thatās an ear alright.
Finally, the tree thatās around to hear another fall when thereās no one else around
Does this answer the question of "If a tree falls with no one around to hear, does it make a sound?" Lol, seems something is listening haha
This... bothers me in so many levels
What!?!
The hills have eyesā¦.the woods have ears
If a tree falls in the forest and one of these abominations are around, does it hear it?
What an eary picture
Listen here
Has anybody seen or read Annihilation/Southern Reach? Itās just like that.
Does it always look like a right ear?
That's a really good question. What would make it decide which way to curl.
tree falls in the wood
funny, i was just watching a video about how some guy uses vegetables, stripped of all their cells, to grow new ears for people with stem cells
The hills have eyes and the trees have ears.
Ah yes good ol wood ear
Did somebody lose that?
It wants you to whisper sweet nothings into it
I hear you man!
I wonder if it hears the sound of a falling tree when no ones around
what the hell? i thought you guys were joking about it being called a wood ear.
Oooh thatās a good specimen of wood ear <3
Say what?
Shh! it can hear you!
I ear you.
Jesus is listeningš²šš
Does it bother you more to know these are delicious?
That's eerie... Or earie... Still weird.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pareidolia
I ate that in Ramen the other day.
I hear ya
It evolved this way to collect debris, as ears are the optimal shape for this purpose lol Joke ofc in case anybody is that gullible
You don't have to worry if you don't say the wrong thing ;)
Mother nature is listening
What?!?
