Dave from tn. Posted September 26, 2021 Report Share Posted September 26, 2021 Found today growing on an old decomposing log in a hardwood forest in Tennessee. Spore print is white. All thoughts are greatly appreciated‼️ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JOHNY Posted September 27, 2021 Report Share Posted September 27, 2021 Probably. Usually cap is sticky. Critical that spore print is white. The dark stem bases are typical. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave from tn. Posted September 28, 2021 Author Report Share Posted September 28, 2021 Caps are sticky. Prints are white. This is the earliest I’ve seen enokis in Tennessee. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The dark stem bases are typical. I'm no expert, but the dark stem bases are in the descriptions I read and the common name "velvet shank" come from these dark velvety stem bases. I've never found them in the wild, so take my book learnin' for what it is Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave W Posted October 2, 2021 Report Share Posted October 2, 2021 They look like Flammulina velutipes to me, and nothing else comes immediately to my mind (with sticky caramel-colored caps, dark vlevety stipe bases, clustered growth on wood, and white spore print). Yes, seems early for this species in Tennessee. I believe there have been one or two previous F. velutipes posts made here on WMH during summer months.
