The popular name "Judas' ear" derives from the legend which tells that the mushroom took this form due to the curse of the tree on which Judas Iscariot, the apostle who betrayed Jesus for 30 pieces of silver, hanged himself overwhelmed by the senses of guilt. Both Judas and the Auricularia “hang” from a tree. The taxonomic name Auricularia means "ear" and auricula-judae means "Judas' ear".

Auricularia is very present in Oriental cuisine and in Chinese restaurant menus where it is called "wood ear mushroom" or also "cloud ear mushroom". It is often found dried in specialized shops and when soaked again it takes on its gelatinous consistency again.

Precisely for this characteristic it is also called "Jelly fungus".
