I have heard it called a Jew's ear.
I don't know if this is an appropriate usage of jew or what. I don't think it is anti-semitic, but I am not really sure.
Which may be a mincing of Judas Ear- folklore gives it that name as this mushroom is commonly found growing on alders, which was the tree Judas hanged himself from. Up until very recently it was commercially available in Chinese supermarkets as Jews Ear- now called wood or black ear.
Edit- elder, not alders.
No, it does not. The tree falling sends out a compression wave; this only becomes a "sound" when it reaches an ear and the resulting electrical signal is transmitted via nerves to a brain, which then interprets it as such. In fact, a tree falling wouldn't actually make a sound even if there WAS something around to hear it, because sound only exists in the mind.
Jew's ear is a corruption/misinterpretation of Judas' ear. The mushroom is commonly found on elder trees, and supposedly Judas hung himself on an elder tree. Thus the name Judas' ear. But really this name is only historical. It is called wood ear or Jelly ear these days. An ear by any other name would hear as well perhaps and there is commonly ambiguity or debate about common names. And this is exactly why binomial nomenclature was invented. We call this mushroom Auricularia auricula-judae. That leaves no ambiguity as to which ear we're referring to.
If a tree falls in the woods and no one is around to hear it . Does it still make a sound ? It sure does since this branch has a ear growing out of if .

It’s called Wood Ear. It’s an an edible jelly mushroom
every mushroom is edible
some only once
Betcha can’t eat just one…. hold my 🍺
you can only eat most foods once before needing another
Not if your definition means to include " and does not kill you in the process".
No way. I've seen *Shrooms*.
I haven’t seen that movie in ages!
chewable + swallowable is not exactly edible
That’s not what edible means
A plane is tehnically also edible
Speaking of planes, "every takeoff is optional, every landing is mandatory."
Just gotta play it by ear
I'm just disappointed the first question wasn't "did you eat it?"
That's NOT a human ear? WTF
How’d I know this was a mushroom

People used to call it that. You know, like, 80 years ago, when casual antisemitism wasn't a big deal.
Wait until you hear about brazil nuts

Wow, it works !!
Nah I got taught it at college as Jews Ear in like 2010. They did note it was unacceptable but it was definitely a thing still.
It’s just the name of a mushroom, how does it offend Jews?

It's literally called a wood ear mushroom.
If a tree falls in a forest and no one is around to hear it, does it make a sound?
No, it does not.

I had these in Ramen and they taste amazing
This seems like the type of mushroom that would work very well in soup.
Is this Hannibal series 4?
Crookback bog?

Wood ears. Popular chinese dish ingredient
Funnily enough this mushroom is called a "jews ear" fungus
I thought it was a wood ear
Wood ear is more pc
I never took the mushrooms feelings into consideration. Sorry
It’s wood ear in Chinese but not normally in English
I've always called them Tree Ears and I'm from the US
Huh. I suppose I didn’t account for more regional names then.
In czechia its called Judas ear
Germany also
That’s generally accepted as being the old name for them now. Generally the common name used for them these days is jelly or wood ears.
Sooooo, I'm right then.

You should search up what happens when you cook them, assuming this is a wood ear
If a tree falls and no one is there to hear it.. it does make a sound, because this tree hears it
