Golden Enoki

Flammulina filiformis
WX025

The wild-type sister of white enoki — warm golden-brown caps with more robust stems. Similar flavour to the white variety, but with a notably more stringy and fibrous texture.

Golden enoki is the wild-type form of Flammulina filiformis — the mushroom that the white enoki was cultivated from. The caps are a warm caramel-golden colour and the stems are more robust. The flavour is similar to the white variety — mild and slightly sweet — but the texture is noticeably more stringy and fibrous. It's harder to find commercially, which makes it a nice addition to the collection.
