VIGOROUS MOUNTAINS Organic Dried Edible Black Fungus Wood Ear Mushrooms Auricularia Auricula-judae for Cooking (4OZ)

Yummy. Very flavorful. I grow many types of mushrooms, so I’m picky when buying dried from a vendor. Delicate, woodsy, and earthy musty…not like socks….earthy in a very welcome sense of the word. DO NOT over rehydrate. In fact, under rehydrate for use in soups. Delicate. Not like rehydrating a Shitake! I’ll admit I got busy, once and oops. You’ll lose all the flavor, and wonderful scents. They will become gelatinous and tasteless.

Just as expected. Quality product. Rapid delivery.

Why did you pick this product vs others?: Do not buy, I have been making Vietnamese egg rolls for 40 years, taught to me by a Vietnamese cook who owned a famous restaurant in Los Angeles. This was the first time i bought this brand, and it's terrible. It was mushy and smelled bad, not sure if it wasn't good or if this is normal for this company but there are so many other companies that you can use and not waste your money. Terrible, terrible, and mushy.

Great flavor and texture. Wished that they could be larger in size.

Made hot and sour soup. This was perfect.

Love the taste and texture of these mushrooms. Easy to prepare and clean. Mixed with tofu, green onions, spinach and sweet peppers. Made a delicious and healthy meal. Good price too. Will purchase again!

This item was my second purchase. The first black fungus was good. This second package has a 5-20-2025 expiration date. I soaked them in warm water as I always do but they turned to a soft slimy mush. I have no idea why but I am not going to buy this brand again. I am worried they could cause illness.

We make our own hot pot at home but I couldn't find fresh black fungus. This reconstituted beautifully and had a wonderful texture. I had also purchased another brand from a local market and this was just as good.
