Flammulina similis

Flammulina similis is a Patagonian species described by Egon Horak in 1980 from the Andean forests of southern Argentina. It is known from about ten records in Neuquén, Río Negro, Chubut and Tierra del Fuego. Nothing specific is published about its growing conditions, so this profile uses the measured climate and general Flammulina habits.

Where it grows wild

Presumed to grow on dead wood in Andean-Patagonian forest, where southern beech (Nothofagus) dominates; no substrate is recorded in the sources we could open.

The records carry no elevations; the Andean foothill sites are probably at 500–1,000 m.
