Dried Black Fungus (Auricularia polytricha) | Premium Gourmet & Functional Mushroom UK

Discover the remarkable culinary and wellness benefits of Dried Black Fungus (Auricularia polytricha), a gourmet and functional mushroom prized for its texture, flavour and versatility in UK.

Although it shares some similarities with the European Jelly Ear Mushroom (Auricularia auricula-judae), Black Fungus has its own identity. It must be reconstituted in warm water before use and is highly valued for its spongy, crunchy texture and its incredible ability to soak up any flavour it’s cooked in.

Whether you’re preparing aromatic fried rice, adding depth to soups or stir-fries, or feeling adventurous with sweet creations like dark chocolate-coated Turkish delight, this mushroom delivers fun, texture, and cultural heritage in one bite.

Recipe Ideas

• Fried Rice Flavour Bombs: Rehydrate in stock, slice, and stir into rice. Experience bursts of flavour in every crunchy bite.
• Cointreau Turkish Delight: Rehydrate in orange liqueur, dip in dark chocolate, and chill. The result? A chewy, boozy treat with a unique twist.
