Snow fungus (Tremella fuciformis), also called silver ear or white jelly fungus, is a frilly, translucent-white jelly mushroom that grows in ruffled clusters like a cabbage-shaped sea anemone. Sold dried as pale golden-white florets, it is soaked back to a soft, gelatinous, faintly crunchy bloom and is central to Chinese sweet soups (tong sui), tonic desserts and banquet cooking. Almost flavourless on its own, it is prized for its silky-slippery texture, its prodigious swelling and its skin-nourishing polysaccharides.
What to look for, from brittle, ivory, freshly dried to damp, browned, musty.
