Dave from tn. Posted November 13, 2021 Report Share Posted November 13, 2021 Found in Tennessee today in a maple dominant hardwood forest growing on bark. Only reason I am almost second guessing them is because I’ve never seen any even 1/4 this size! All advice is greatly appreciated! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave W Posted November 14, 2021 Report Share Posted November 14, 2021 Was the bark still attached to a tree? Were the caps sticky? How large are the caps (diameter)? These look like Flammulina velutipes to me. Spore print color? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave from tn. Posted November 14, 2021 Author Report Share Posted November 14, 2021 Hi Dave! Bark was attached to a very old stump possibly elm. Caps were indeed sticky and some were as large as 2 to 2 1/2 inches in diameter. Spore print was white. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave W Posted November 15, 2021 Report Share Posted November 15, 2021 Elm seems to be the favorite wood of F. velutipes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
