Hi cherrybee,

A gill/stem shot would have clinched it, but with the sticky glycerin looking cap, I'm as certain as I can be that these are indeed Flammulina velutipes.

Regards
Mike.

Well I was pretty sure but have been wrong when pretty sure before They look so pretty with that shine on them and the beautiful green moss found Jews ear a little farther on on another fallen treeI walked about 5 miles that day,BIG mistake as havent been out for a while.Everything was aching all over and my boots and bottom of trousers all muddy LOL.Where I was walking waspretty soggy.When East devon had bad floods this was the area it was in

as Mike said they do look indeed like Velvet Shank but an underside shot would confirm it

Hallo,

don't listen to the guys! Better you came out of there in time, otherwise the pictures would have gone with you ...
I'm pretty sure, let's say 99,9%, that it is Velvet Shank. But next time you can grap one of the fruitbodies, not to prevent you from drowning in the mus, but to take a picture from the stipe later at a safer place

best regards,
Andreas

Well mud is supposedly good for the complexion, and judging by the perfect skin on my knees, I think that confirms it. And the skid on my backside down a grassy slope that was flowing with water and mud and snow on Monday will hopefully improve the skin elsewhere ... it certainly got through to the skin ...
