Mushrooms
Jew’s ear
The name of this peculiar mushroom appeals to the imagination: according to tradition it was mistranslated from the Latin for Judas’s ear. In addition to its peculiar appearance and strange name, the Jew’s ear is characterised by its anti-inflammatory and fever-reducing effects.
The Jew’s ear is a particularly versatile mushroom. Its neutral flavour and chewy bite make it ideal for use in soups and sauces.
