RE: The Amatuer Mycologist - Random Find - Probable Flammulina velutipes, The Velvet Foot
You should include this fungi in another misconception post. Most people don't know that F. velutipes and store-bought enokis are the same mushroom.
Great piece by the way!
I was amazed to discover that! I was planning on eventually doing a full species rundown of velutipes in the future that talked about that. In the mean time Tom Volk goes into a lot of detail about how Enoki's are coerced into their uniqur form.
It's that kind of thing that still blows my mind now and again when I discover new species in perspn for the first time.
amazing what can be achieved through "cultivation" (and that relates to many other more "esoteric" mushrooms as well)! lol
Fungi are so amazing! And the more people study them and cultivate them, too, the more we find how amazing they are. I like examples of cultivated mushrooms that occur in the wild, too. It can help people fear them less.
