In record time, it can grow from a few millimeters to ten centimeters. And then \u2013 behold \u2013 some hikers might think a human ear is growing from the branch: the Judas Ear (<em>Auricularia auricula judae<\/em>, Mu Err) is an edible jelly fungus that can be found year-round. It is particularly noticeable in winter months, which are moist and frost-free. The Judas Ear receives irregular water from the trunks and branches of deciduous trees. Therefore, it has developed an unusual strategy: during dry spells, the mushroom shrinks, and with rain, it swells back up, looking like a dark brown, velvety ear.<\/p><h3><strong>Mushroom of the Year 2017<\/strong><\/h3><p>The <em>Auricularia auricula-judae<\/em> has many welcome health benefits and was named &#8220;Mushroom of the Year 2017&#8221; by the German Society for Mycology. The Judas Ear has anti-inflammatory properties and helps stabilize the immune system. It is particularly noted for naturally improving blood flow properties. It works like an allopathic blood thinner without affecting the collagen components of blood vessels. These properties also protect against internal bleeding even with prolonged use. The mushroom promotes circulation throughout the entire body, especially in cases of circulatory issues in the extremities, and helps with hypertension.<\/p><h3><strong>Health Benefits on the Menu<\/strong><\/h3><p>With its high plant-based protein, vitamin B1, beta-carotene, and minerals such as magnesium, potassium, calcium, iron, phosphorus, and silicon, the Judas Ear is a powerhouse for health. <em>Auricularia<\/em> makes the blood more fluid, thereby preventing cardiovascular diseases. In regions of Southeast Asia, where the mushroom is a regular part of the diet, there are significantly fewer cases of heart attacks, embolisms, and thrombosis than in other areas.<\/p><h3><strong>Preventive Uses for the Judas Ear<\/strong><\/h3><ul><li><p>Against arteriosclerosis<\/p><\/li><li><p>To improve circulation<\/p><\/li><li><p>For blood pressure regulation<\/p><\/li><li><p>To stop bleeding in hemorrhoids, uterine bleeding, and bleeding from urinary tract infections<\/p><\/li><li><p>To reduce blood fat levels<\/p><\/li><li><p>As a positive influence on blood clotting<\/p><\/li><li><p>To moisturize mucous membranes<\/p><\/li><li><p>As a preventive measure against heart attacks and strokes<\/p><\/li><li><p>To optimize the immune system<\/p><\/li><li><p>For eye, skin, and mucous membrane inflammations<\/p><\/li><\/ul><h3><strong>How the Mushroom Got Its Name<\/strong><\/h3><p>The German folk name &#8220;Judas Ear&#8221; is based on a legend. According to the tale, the apostle Judas Iscariot, who betrayed Jesus with a kiss, tried to hang himself from an elder tree out of guilt and remorse. When he jumped, the branch broke, and he fell so hard that he tore off one of his ears on the bark of the elder tree. He then tried again on the thick branch of an ash tree, losing his other ear. This is said to be the reason why Judas Ears grow on the wood of elder and ash trees.<\/p><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/article><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Vital Mushroom Judas Ear \u2013 A Phenomenal Powerhouse for Health It clings inconspicuously and shriveled to dead elder or ash wood, transforming into its true size after a strong rainfall.
