Wood Ear Mushrooms! 👂🏼🍄‍🟫 They’re some of the coolest looking mushrooms! These were foraged on my parents property. The stump of a fallen tree completely covered in delightful little mushies! A dream come true for me! Wood ear mushrooms are high in fiber and polyphenol antioxidants! They contain a variety of prebiotics as well. They may help to reduce LDL cholesterol. Wood ear mushrooms are foraged, cut up and dried. Then stored in an air tight container. They are then cooked thoroughly and used in a variety of ways including salads, soups (I like ramen), dumplings and stir fries! A wood ear pizza is next on my list. Studies have even shown that boiling them increases their antioxidant activity. 100g of dried wood ear fungus contains: Energy 293 ,1 kcal Protein 10.6 g Fat 0.2 g Sugar 65 g Iron 185 mg Calcium 375 mg Phosphorus 201 mg Carotene 0.03% mg Fiber 5.8 g #woodearmushroom #woodear #fantasticfungi #feedfeed #foragersofinstagram #hobbitcore #wildfoodlove
