Jazz Mini Black Fungus. Also known as wood-ear or cloud-ear fungus (Auricularia polytricha), this dried black fungus transforms into glossy, chewy mushrooms once soaked. A staple in Asian cooking from hot & sour soup to japchae, it adds texture and subtle earthiness without overpowering other flavours.
