WELCOME 🍄 FUNGI LOVERS
For this weeks Fungi Friday by @ewkaw i have a few shots of a Velvet Shank mushroom colony i found on one of my morningwalks.
A little research about the Velvet Shank mushroom
Meet the Velvet Shank mushroom, nature's funky little fashionista! With a stem as smooth as silk and a cap softer than a cloud, this fungi is the epitome of chic in the forest world. Scientifically known as Flammulina Velutipes, it's like the James Bond of mushrooms … sleek and always ready to make an entrance. But here's the kicker: it's not just about style. Velvet Shank mushrooms are also packed with nutrients and antioxidants, making them a real power player from a culinary point of view. There's more! These shrooms have a hidden talent: they thrive in the cold. Yip, while other mushrooms are busy hibernating, the Velvet Shank is out there, braving the frost like it's no big deal. Talk about dedication! So, next time you're out foraging in the woods, keep an eye out for the Velvet Shank mushroom. It's not just a pretty face - it's a whole fungi phenomenon!
Mostly the whole colony
A view from underneath into it‘s gills.
It‘s a pretty slimey fella!
It loves to grow in cosy groups by the dozen. I found a few of those half hidden in the leaves and that‘s it already with the wimey slimey Velvet Shank mushroom colony.
