Cloud Ears are similar in appearance to Woodear except Woodear are black with a brownish - tan inner color. Believed by many to be good for the heart.

The Woodear have a firm, thick skin with a slightly crunchy texture and earthy flavor. Shredded Woodear Mushrooms are thin, long slices of the whole Woodear Mushroom.
