After my trip to the zoo yesterday, it was back to Ness Gardens today. Lovely soft light from an overcast sky.
A few days ago, I posted a different view of this lovely mushroom called 'Judas's Ear' (Auricularia auricula-judae or in Dutch 'Judasoor') with some information about it, so If you want to read that, just click here.
I like the structure of the top of this 'ear', hope you do too ;-))

Cercis siliquastrum, commonly known as the Judas tree or Judas-tree,[1] is a small deciduous tree from Southern Europe and Western Asia which is noted for its prolific display of deep pink flowers in spring.
This species forms a small tree up to 12 m (39 ft) in height and 10 m (32 ft) in width.[2]
The deep pink flowers are produced on year-old or older growth, including the trunk, in spring. Also, the flowers display a blossom with five free petals and fused sepals. This flower shape is typical of the pea family (Fabaceae). The leaves appear shortly after the first flowers emerge. These are cordate with a blunt apex, which occasionally has a shallow notch at the tip. The tree produces long flat pods that hang vertically. The flowers are edible and reportedly have a sweet-acid taste. Wikipedia
"Auricularia auricula-judae, known as the Jew's ear, wood ear, jelly ear or by a number of other common names, is a species of edible Auriculariales fungus found worldwide. The fruiting body is distinguished by its noticeably ear-like shape and brown colouration; it grows upon wood, especially elder. Its specific epithet is derived from the belief that Judas Iscariot hanged himself from an elder tree; the common name "Judas's ear" eventually became "Jew's ear", while today "jelly ear" and other names are sometimes used. The fungus can be found throughout the year in temperate regions worldwide, where it grows upon both dead and living wood.
In the West, A. auricula-judae was used in folk medicine as recently as the 19th century for complaints including sore throats, sore eyes and jaundice, and as an astringent. Although it is not widely consumed in the West, it has long been popular in China, to the extent that Australia exported large volumes to China in the early twentieth century. Today, the fungus is a popular ingredient in many Chinese dishes, such as hot and sour soup, and also used in Chinese medicine. It is also used in Ghana, as a blood tonic. Modern research into possible medical applications has variously concluded that A. auricula-judae has antitumour, hypoglycemic, anticoagulant and cholesterol-lowering properties." - WiKi
"Het judasoor of echt judasoor (Auricularia auricula-judae, synoniem: Hirneola auricula-judae) is een zwam uit de familie Auriculariaceae. De soort neemt bij droog weer in omvang af en regenereert in vochtiger omstandigheden.
Onder gunstige (vochtige) omstandigheden is het 2-6 cm grote judasoor een satijnige donkerroze zwam, die zacht aanvoelt. Vaak treft men hem aan in de vorm van een geaderd, enigszins doorzichtig oor. Bij droogte krimpt hij in, wordt harder en donkerder (tot zwart) van kleur.
Judasoor is eetbaar en wordt veel gebruikt in de Chinese en Japanse keuken. De zwam kan ook worden gedroogd en dan worden gegeten." - WiKi

Another of my Top 10 Favorites. Saw them once before in Sept. of 1982 with my then 17 year old future wife. Saw them this time with our Daughter and 15 year old Grandson. It was his 1st concert, bringing him up on good old fashioned Heavy Metal.

Cercis siliquastrum
There is a long-standing myth that Judas Iscariot hanged himself from a tree of this species. This belief is related to the common name "Judas tree", which is possibly a corrupted derivation from the French common name, Arbre de Judée, meaning tree of Judea, referring to the hilly regions of that country where the tree used to be common.[8] Another possible source for the vernacular name is the fact that the flowers and seedpods can dangle direct from the trunk in a way reminiscent of Judas' suicide.[4]
A sermon illustration on the deadly effects of succumbing to temptation refers to an idea that the Judas Tree killed bees drawn to it: "Dr. Cuyler forcibly illustrates this by reference to the Judas tree. The blossoms appear before the leaves, and they are of a brilliant crimson. The flaming beauty of the flowers attracts innumerable insects; and the wandering bee is drawn after it to gather honey. But every bee which alights upon the blossom, imbibes a fatal opiate, and drops dead from among the crimson flowers to the earth." [9]
