Flammulina Populicola
''Flammulina populonica'' is an edible winter mushroom. It differs from closely related species ''Flammulina velutipes'' by being slightly larger in size and having a thicker stem. It grows on wood of quaking aspen and other poplars (members of the genus ''Populus ''Populus'' is a genus of 25–30 species of deciduous flowering plants in the family Salicaceae, native to most of the Northern Hemisphere.

Culinarily, it is used in the same way as ''F. velutipes''. It requires cooking and is often used in soups. References Physalacriaceae {{Physalacriaceae-stub ...

Flammulina Velutipes
''Flammulina velutipes'' is a species of gilled mushroom in the family Physalacriaceae. In the UK, it has been given the recommended English name of velvet shank. The species occurs in Europe and North America. Until recently ''Flammulina velutipes'' was considered to be conspecific with the Asian'' Flammulina filiformis'', cultivated for food as "enokitake" or "golden needle mushroom", but DNA sequencing has shown that the two are distinct. Taxonomy The species was originally described from England by botanist William Curtis in 1782 as ''Agaricus velutipes''. It was transferred to the genus ''Flammulina'' by Rolf Singer Rolf Singer (June 23, 1906 – January 18, 1994) was a Germany, German-born mycologist and one of the most important Taxonomy (biology), taxonomists of gilled mushrooms (agarics) in the 20th century.

Populus
''Populus'' is a genus of 25–30 species of deciduous flowering plants in the family Salicaceae, native to most of the Northern Hemisphere. English names variously applied to different species include poplar (), aspen, and cottonwood. The western balsam poplar ('' P. trichocarpa'') was the first tree to have its full DNA code determined by DNA sequencing, in 2006. Description The genus has a large genetic diversity, and can grow from tall, with trunks up to in diameter. The bark on young trees is smooth, white to greenish or dark gray, and often has conspicuous lenticels; on old trees, it remains smooth in some species, but becomes rough and deeply fissured in others. The shoots are stout, with (unlike in the related willows) the terminal bud present. The leaves are spirally arranged, and vary in shape from triangular to circular or (rarely) lobed, and with a long petiole; in species in the sections ''Populus'' and ''Aigeiros'', the petioles are laterally flattened, s ...
