Feb 6, 2011 at 1:55 comment added PLL Ah — after some more thorough googling than I’d done at first, I think I’ve found it online after all: it is an edible lichen, sometimes called “stone flower”, and can apparently be a reasonably standard component of garam masala. Will put what I’ve found into a separate answer. Thankyou for your help, though, in any case!
Feb 6, 2011 at 1:47 comment added PLL Thankkyou! Hmmm… looking around, though, the photos of cloud/wood ears I can find online don’t look quite like this thing — this is more like a lichen and less like a mushroom. I’ve never had cloud/wood ears, though, so I’m not sure…
