Flammulina Velutipes??

What do you guys think? The sporeprint was completely white, mature caps were around 2 inch and a little bit slimy. Stems were hollow, almost black, and fading to orange/yellow on top.

They're certainly Collybioid.
They should have velvet-like fuzz on the stems near the base. If they lack that, then I would suspect Collybia acervata. Other possibilities include several Mycena species, suggested by the striate margins visible in your first photo. I'm tending toward Collybia instead of Mycena mostly because the caps are almost flat instead of conic to campanulate.
Happy mushrooming!

Dame! I was allmost certain that they were flammulina. They did have a velvet-like shine on their stems, but it isn't really fuzz. Thanks for the fast reply!

No, ...but edible if it's a Collybia Acervata or a Flammulina. And I think a tasty one, according to the smell.

Looks just like the enoki (Flammulina Velutipes)that grow in my wood. Almost identical, but they grow from trunks way above soil level, is there a tree stump there ? I can't quite see. i'l try to dig up a picture.

Yeah, they grow on a treestump. And they look simmilar to some enoki pics I found in my mushroombooks, much more simmilar than the photo's of collybia or mycena's I have. They also look very simmilar to the second picture of the enoki's in this post: http://www.shroomery.org/forums/showflat...=14&fpart=1 A pic of yours would be nice Paid!

Thanks!! They do look very similar, too bad I can't enlarge these pics. Did they have a velvet fuzz near the base of the stem, or was it just a velvety shine? Are there any dangerous look-a-likes of this mushroom?

The main dangerous lookalike for these is Galerina autumnalis. The spore print easily distinguishes them, as the Galerina has a rusty brown spore print and the Flammulinas and Collybias have a white one. The Galerina also has a ring on the stem, but the ring sometimes disappears.
Happy mushrooming!

For me all the characteristics and the photographies you posted speak for F. velutipes.

Great!!! BTW, Anno, These pictures were taken some time ago, two or three days after I asked if you had a spare culture of enoki. I wanted this strain badly and a few days later I found them growing only 10 meters from my house!!!
