The Fungi World (271) : Velvet Shank

Velvet Shank is one of the few fungi that likes cold weather.
It can easily survive frost and as a consequence can be found (with some luck) all winter long.
Grows always in clusters.

This fungus is widely cultivated in east-Asia under the name Enokitake and is a popular ingredient in soups and salades in the Chinese, Japanese and Korean cuisine.
Because Enokitake is cultivated in complete darkness, it has, in contrast to the wild form, no colour but is pale white.

Dutch name : Gewoon fluweelpootje
German name : Gemeine Samtfussrübling
Latin name : Flammulina velutipes

This is my last fungus shot of the 2014 autumn, which was a good fungi season :-))
I hope you all enjoyed the pictures of the fascinating fungi world as much as I did when I found and shot them all.

With just one click below, you can see here the whole series so far
