About Fungi, Cloud ears, dried
Cloud ear fungus, sold dried, is a Chinese wood ear mushroom variety prized almost entirely for texture rather than flavor. The dried form shrinks to dark, brittle flakes that expand dramatically in water, becoming gelatinous, chewy, and almost translucent.

Reconstituted cloud ears appear in hot and sour soup, moo shu pork, and cold Sichuan salads. They have essentially no pronounced taste of their own, making them a textural addition that takes on the flavors around them.
