That’s all! mushroom/fungi are a big part of folklore and they often have fascinating and informative names.
So if you happen to know it, or happen to look up the Latin name, why not add the local name too?

In Ireland, a mushroom is called a ‘fás aon oíche’, which means a grow-one-night
Good point!
Anyway, Armillaria mellea that is all over the place right now is Keltamesisieni in Finnish (“yellow nectar mushroom”) and опёнок осенний in Russian (“autumn stump-thing”).
Keltamesisieni
Honey fungus.
Hallimasch in German.
usually my books do have the common names listed (and usually there are many common names) along with the scientific name
Sadly, most mushrooms don’t have common names in English and have extremely boring translated Latin names.
