You can buy the very similar auricula polytricha dried in Chinese grocery stores under the slightly less contentious name of "wood ear mushroom". Needs a long soak.
If you want to try this one, look for "jelly ear" or "Judas ear" - the latter is the original name because it favours elder, on which Judas Iscariot is said to have hung himself. It's not as widely sold as wood ear but allegedly it can be got.
