Wood Ear Fungus (Auricularia angiospermarum)
Growing on fallen hardwood in a dense mixed hardwood/coniferous forest in NW Georgia (Gordon County), US.
Note: This is one of my favorite (and most plentiful) edible mushrooms! Auricularia species have a long history of being used in soups (especially in Asia), and I have to agree that they are a great addition!
Similar species: Auriculariales
