Flammulina fennae is a winter mushroom very similar to Flammulina velutipes but still a species on its own.[1][2] It differs by having a white pale cap.

As with all the Flammulina species, it grows on woods, mainly elm and poplar trees. It withstand winter and freezing weather conditions.

Thought being rare compared to F. velutipes, still it is well represented in Russia.

Its edibility and culinary practice are the same as F. velutipes.

Particular attention should be paid to not confuse it with highly poisonous and deadly Galerina species.
