Flammulina filiformis

Enoki

The Asian enoki mushroom, recently separated from the European velvet shank, is one of the world's most widely farmed mushrooms. Wild, it forms orange-brown, velvet-stemmed clusters on dead broadleaved wood in cold weather; cultivated in the dark and high CO2, it grows as long, pale threads. It fruits best when cold.
