The combination of woodear mushrooms and wakame seaweed give this soup a unique taste and texture. 

The white roots (parsley root, celeriac, parsnips and sunchokes) don't receive much culinary acclaim. Perhaps it's their drab colors; they are quite plain in appearance compared to their far more garish and brightly colored veggie brethren, but they offer up a range of delightful, sometimes, subtle flavors.
