Possibily Pholiota sp.?

[jaybie]

I wonder if this can be confirmed as Pholiota and possibly some pointers as to species.



Many thanks, JohnB

Hi John

The specimen on its side with the thin stem has a dark velvety base, so I think it is Flammulina. It is also more likely at this time of the year, not sure why the other specimens have not developed the dark velvety base though.

Agree with Peter - most strange. If the one on it's side was growing with the others then they are almost certainly the same, but those grooved stems are new to me.

Thanks Peter/Neil

They were all growing in the same area close together so I would assume same species though the stipes are quite different. Here is an image of the grooved stem which does appear to be velvety in nature unfortunately the S95 focus is a bit off.

Hi all

I agree with Flammulina. I've seen these grooved stems a few times when it's growing on buried wood.

Cheers,
