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.
dry rot. Dry rot is such a big deal because the wood-eating fungus digests or absorbs the parts of the fibers that make wood timbers and beams both rigid and strong. The wood damaged by rot is usually somewhat dry and crumbly in appearance, hence the nickname âdry rotâ, although the fungus spores only thrive in a damp or moist environment.
