Flammulina ferrugineolutea

Flammulina ferrugineolutea is a little-known tropical African member of the enoki genus, described by Beeli from the Congo basin and combined into Flammulina by Singer in 1969. Only two wild records exist, from Togo and the Democratic Republic of the Congo. Nothing specific is published on its growing conditions, so this profile works from the measured lowland climate and general Flammulina habits.

Presumed to grow on dead wood in lowland tropical forest, like the rest of the genus; no substrate is recorded in the sources we could open.

The two climate sites sit at about 300–540 m; no record carries an elevation.
