Auricularia auricula-judae (Bull.) Wettst., 1897 (Jelly Ear, The Jew’s Ear or Judas’s Ear Fungus)
| Notes (MWS) | A very common "jelly fungus" usually growing on dead branches of *Sambucus* but found on a variety of other broad-leaved trees especially *Fagus*. |
| Notes (MWS) | An ear-like jelly fungus that is characteristic of dead branches of Elder (*Sambucus nigra*) but can also be found on other types of wood, especially Beech (*Fagus*). The english name derives from Judas Iscariot ("The Jew") who was said to have committed suicide in remorse, by hanging himself from an Elder tree (which thereafter became the stunted shrub we know). |
