What is another word for tremella?
Pronunciation: [tɹɛmˈɛlə] (IPA) 
Tremella is a type of mushroom that is often used in Chinese cooking as a key ingredient in soups, desserts, and hot drinks because of its jelly-like texture and nutritional value. Some synonyms for tremella include snow fungus, silver ear fungus, and white jelly mushroom. Snow fungus is called so because it looks like it has been sprinkled with snowflakes while silver ear fungus is named after its silvery-white color. On the other hand, the term white jelly mushroom speaks to the texture of tremella, which is translucent and gelatinous. These synonyms can be used interchangeably depending on the context, but they all refer to the same type of mushroom that is prized in Chinese cuisine.
