Corvus Posted May 2, 2021 Report Share Posted May 2, 2021 Found these in a dead upright (basswood?) tree, north side, mostly away from sun. Many of them smaller than a penny or dime. I have no idea what they are...Hypholoma fasciculare is a complete guess. Help would be appreciated. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave W Posted May 2, 2021 Report Share Posted May 2, 2021 Spore print color would be very useful here. Despite the lack of dark/velvety stems, I think these may be Flammulina velutipes. Although, I have seen Hypholoma fasciculare (or perhaps a very similar green-gilled species) during spring. Hypholoma mushrooms have dark purple-brown spore print (best seen when a thick print is collected). Flammulina mushrooms have starkly white spore print.

Corvus Posted May 2, 2021 Author Report Share Posted May 2, 2021 Dave, thank you very much! I will do a spore print. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
michele Posted May 4, 2021 Report Share Posted May 4, 2021 I agree with David, it seems Flammulina velutipes Bye Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JOHNY Posted May 4, 2021 Report Share Posted May 4, 2021 Odd time of year for Flammulina. Although my only finding once, was late summer, also odd. Did they spore print white? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bobby b Posted May 5, 2021 Report Share Posted May 5, 2021 They are still growing in Pgh PA, but a cold weather species. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corvus Posted May 5, 2021 Author Report Share Posted May 5, 2021 @JOHNY I didn't grab any when I was there, so I will have to grab some when I go back to this spot. I will report a spore print then Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave W Posted May 5, 2021 Report Share Posted May 5, 2021 Here in NE PA I find more Flammulina during spring than any other time of year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
