Auricularia auricula-judea

Auricularia auricula-judea is a misspelling of Auricularia auricula-judae, the jelly ear. In the strict sense this is a European species of dead and living hardwoods, especially elder (Sambucus); records elsewhere belong to other species such as A. americana and A. heimuer. The profile below follows the European jelly ear, not the two tropical records filed under this spelling.
