Auricularia auricula-judas is now called wood ear or black wood ear and is edible.

Tangent info: This mushroom used to have the name Jew's Ear Fungus, as you can see in the latin name. I have a bunch of Tradescantia zebrina in my garden and it has recently been renamed "Wandering Dude". I'm sure you can figure out what it used to be called.
