A plate of dried black fungus. Overview. Black fungus, or Auricularia polytricha, is sometimes known as wood ear, cloud ear, Judas ear or tree ear. It is a mushroom that is dark brown to black and native to Asia and some Pacific islands with humid climates, according to the Mycological Society of San Francisco.
Sooty black mold is a fungus that can appear on the surface of plant leaves, stems, twigs, branches and even fruits. The fungus does not harm or feed off the plants, but instead gets its nourishment from honeydew. Honeydew is a sticky, sweet substance that certain insects secrete. When sooty mold spores are carried by the wind and land in the honeydew, the fungus feeds on the honeydew and grows, covering the plants and causing a charcoal-like sooty coating of mold.
