    Yes, I think I asked exactly for this ID to be created. Oh, I see, I have mistyped the specie name. I am so sorry!

      There is a wiki page that is recognised by the system. You just have to copy the correct name to identify it. Posted 11 years ago

        I see, that's why I didn't get it. Thanks a lot. Posted 11 years ago

Hi Jivko, You might want to revisit this ID. I really doubt it's Flammulina velutipes for several reasons:

1. Flammulina velutipes has a bald cap; the mushrooms in your photo do not
2. Flammulina velutipes has whitish, crowded gills attached to the stem; your mushrooms have orange gills
3. The stipe of Flammulina velutipes starts out pale and then turns brown with age; it doesn't have a ring, is smooth and velvety. The mushrooms in your photo don't match these characteristics.

I'm not sure what the correct ID would be, but Armillaria borealis is a possibility. Posted 2 years ago, modified 2 years ago

  Hi Christine,
  I agree with you. I don't know shall I find the correct ID, but I'll make additional research. Fungi are not my favorite subjects.-:) Posted 2 years ago

    Okay. They are hard to ID, for sure. Posted 2 years ago
