 And why is it known as Jew's Ears Fungus? Myth and legend link this fungus with Judas, who supposedly hanged himself to death, from an elder tree, after betraying Jesus Christ. As a result, the tree became known as the Judas tree. This type of tree often has these little Jelly fungi sprouting out of it, which became known as Judas's Ear. Over time, the name gradually changed to the similar-sounding Jew's Ear.
