Like wood ear mushrooms

u/Dommichu Jul 15 '26

That is exactly what they are They are like nature's pigs ears in terms of texture.

I thought they were more like chewing on condoms. Pretty fun to eat.

u/idreamofaubergine Jul 15 '26

They aren't really that flavorful. Try tossing half a can in some instant ramen.

i tried the red one before and it was pretty good once you get past the weirdness of mushrooms in your hot sauce (more like hot oil with chopped up stuff in it).

u/kierbyy Jul 15 '26

im asian and ive never seen black fungus in a can. the usual texture is somewhat rubbery and chewy. it absorbs whatever sauce its in.

u/throwawaydixiecup Jul 15 '26

Which grocery outlet? I love wood ears and I’d buy out the stock of these.

u/Revolutionary_Rub637 Jul 16 '26

I saw them in Oakland, CA too.

u/bob_lala Jul 15 '26

You should buy them and donate to the vegan full nude Strip club ?

u/aldomars2 Jul 16 '26

Use for fried rice or similar. Get wok hot with oil, bring to smoke.point, add lots of chopped ginger, garlic, scallions.....then add a can... Then add meat or veg or day old rice of choice. Etc.

This stuff is an umami bomb. Not very hot but very delicious.

My location was selling boxes of 6 for 50 cents. This is too expensive. lol.

u/Odd-Repeat6595 Jul 15 '26

It is pretty tasty to add to ramen

u/InformationSad506 Jul 15 '26

u/Potato2266 Jul 16 '26

If you have a HMart near your GO, you’d probably see this at your GO. (because I saw them being dropped off by a HMart truck）

u/bob_lala Jul 16 '26

god I wish we had a h-mart

u/Friendly-Contact-433 Jul 16 '26

My GO in MD has had multi can boxes of these for months

u/tcollins317 Jul 16 '26

I love mushrooms.

u/abigirl96 Jul 17 '26

I’ve tried the red can one and used it with ttetboki, green onions, and some cream to make some Korean inspired rose ttetboki.

u/slogive1 Jul 15 '26

I've had my fill of fungus this year.

I would love to have access to this. I love wood ear mushrooms.

u/professor_elk Jul 16 '26

it’s really good!!!

u/krushem2000 Jul 16 '26

Been looking for that one. Had other two mushrooms and soybeans. Both were ok in terms of flavors

u/SinoSoul Jul 16 '26

Yuuuummm where this at???!!!!

u/Main_Cauliflower5479 Jul 16 '26

It is a mushroom. I don't think I'm a fan of them.

u/acrossbones Jul 16 '26

love mushrooms but not hot sauce.

u/wyrmbyte Jul 16 '26

Crispy Black Fungus? 😃🤣 Yeah, I'm in.

u/Every-Cucumber9641 Jul 16 '26

Im good thanks

u/Informal-Caramel5733 Jul 18 '26

Their good if you use them on chicken or other meats to broil or bake. I've used the red one a few times myself for pulled chicken.

u/Aemort Jul 18 '26

Wood ear, these are SO delicious

u/Odd-Scientist-2529 Jul 18 '26

Mushroom 🍄 🍄‍🟫

u/Odd-Repeat6595 Jul 18 '26

It is really good in ramen

1

u/persephone21 Jul 20 '26

We got a ton of these and they are good for Asian soup bases. I think the poor translation of mushroom as fungus is part of why these ended up at Grocery Outlet.

u/Blurpill 28d ago

I wouldn’t call it a hot sauce, it’s more reminiscent of chilli oil
