Days of rain in Kaohsiung produced an unexpected sight at one company: a row of what appeared to be wood ear mushrooms growing from a wall corner.

A Threads user shared the image after noticing the growth in the company during the wet weather. The unusual scene prompted surprise and the question of whether the mushrooms could be eaten.

This should be wood ear mushrooms, right? They should be edible, right?
