About

Flammulina velutipes, commonly known as Velvet Foot or Enoki, is a mushroom that comes in two forms. In the wild, it has a dark brown, slightly slimy cap and prefers growing on the stumps of dead trees. The cultivated form, known as Enoki or Enokitake, is grown in a carbon dioxide-rich environment to promote the growth of long, thin stems and small, white caps.
