Auricularia angiospermarum

A North American jelly ear fungus of dead broadleaf wood, described from a fallen oak in Connecticut in 2015 and split from the Eurasian A. auricula-judae. It is widespread across the continent. Specific cultivation reports are lacking, but it should respond to the same methods as other temperate wood ears.
