Name of article

How to rename it? which the procedure? it must be named Flammulina velutipes — Preceding unsigned comment added by Andrea EDASA (talk • contribs) 23:03, 26 December 2018 (UTC)

IT MUST BE NAMED FLAMMULINA VELUTIPES AND THEN you can specify that in Japanese is called Enokitake. This must be changed... I suggest as correct article title:

Flammulina velutipes (Enokitake in Japanese).

BUT PLEASE DO CHANGE IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Shouldn't this article be named after an English name for the mushroom rather than the Japanese one? -- Himasaram 12:57, 26 May 2006 (UTC)

I suggest Enoki mushroom --—Preceding unsigned comment added by 222.121.185.173 (talk • contribs)

Support rename proposal. Badagnani 08:15, 12 June 2006 (UTC)

Original country?

This mushroom is cultivated in Japan and is known in English-speaking regions by its Japanese name (as is the shiitake) but was it actually originally native to China? Badagnani 08:18, 12 June 2006 (UTC)

Yea its wack lmao. I've edited the article to reflect the cultivation in both china and japan more equally than just refer to japan when it originates from china. Captain Chicky (talk) 03:46, 18 September 2023 (UTC)

Flammulina velutipes, the wild form, is common across temperate Eurasia and North America. Heliocybe (talk) 15:49, 13 January 2008 (UTC)

Collecting of wild Flammulina velutipes

Enoki (the wild-growing form) is collected by mushroom collecters in the Czech republic. It is called Penízovka Sametonohá. It is available quite later into winter and can be found under snow. Should this be added to the article? The current article seems to emphasize only the asian use and it might be of interest to show its importance in other cultures? 61.88.61.66 23:11, 10 May 2007 (UTC)

add health related info

please. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Tkjazzer (talk • contribs) 06:17, 13 January 2008 (UTC)

In 2005 the National University of Singapore claimed to have isolated a protein that boosts the human immune system. The article [1] can still be found at archive.org but was removed from the NUS website in 2008.[2]

Perhaps it was removed when a story began to circulate in 2008 that the mushroom helps to fight cancer. The story, an unspecified "Taiwan Report" claiming that enoki kills 95% of cancer cells, is found on various blogs today but appears to be a hoax. (The "kim chiam kor" after the headline is the Hokkien name of the mushroom, not the ID of the alleged reporter.) - Fayenatic (talk) 21:29, 15 May 2009 (UTC)

OK, the same article is back on the NUS website at another URL: http://www.nus.edu.sg/research/rg27.php - the "95%" story was in mice, not humans, and using the compound lentinan which is extracted from shiitake, not enokitake. Nevertheless I have added reliably-sourced statements to the article here. - Fayenatic (talk) 20:47, 19 July 2009 (UTC)

Syntax

The Article has telltale signs of ESL English usage. It would benefit from a proper re-edit into clear English. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 121.135.219.15 (talk) 03:57, 23 November 2009 (UTC)

Distribution

It's odd that there's nothing in the article about distribution of this species in the wild. --87.112.100.217 (talk) 10:12, 11 January 2021 (UTC)

Why has this species epithet not changed to "filiformis"?

Reference #5 (Phylogeny and species delimitation of Flammulina: taxonomic status of winter mushroom in East Asia and a new European species identified using an integrated approach )---- DOI:10.1007/s11557-018-1409-2

---

states as fact that Enokitake, based on genetic testing, in any form, and in any locale is actually Flammulina filiformis. ...As fact, not a possibility, as the article states. I almost edited the entire article, but don't feel confident enough with my familiarity with Wikipedia's editing functions. Darineugenius (talk) 12:20, 14 October 2021 (UTC)

Also called "winter mushroom" in Chinese?

Is this mushroom also called "winter mushroom" in Chinese? If so, shouldn't we add this information to the article? 2605:A000:FFC0:5F:F9BD:9D:B97C:57D4 (talk) 00:08, 14 November 2023 (UTC)

"Winter mushroom" refers to the shiitake; enoki mushrooms are referred to in Chinese as either "golden thread/needle/noodle mushroom" or "gold mushroom." Mr Fink (talk) 01:34, 14 November 2023 (UTC)
