Auriculariaceae is a taxonomic family of fungi. Most species in this group grow on dead wood but do not necessarily develop the characteristic 'mushroom' shape. Several species are cultivated for use as food, especially in China and Southeast Asia where they can be bought fresh, dried, or powdered.
