hedgehock, Ваша версия, конечно, притянута за уши 🙂
Я заинтересовалась этимологией этого слова, и вот что нашла.
The word mushroom itself is of dubious etymological origin. It derives from the French word moisseron which is in turn derived from mousse, the French word for moss. Perhaps this is due to the dark, dank mossy habitat where mushrooms thrive and moisseron became mushroom as a calque, using existing English words as antonyms for the French. Interestingly, the French word for mushroom is champignon from champs meaning fields (the Champs Elysee in Paris is the primary artery to the Arc du Triomphe. It means Elysian Fields, where fallen warriors live in perpetual bliss). Champignon is also the German word for mushroom, evidently taken directly from the French. And to really confuse things, the Latin word for mushroom is fungus, which in turn derives from the Greek spoggos, or sponge. Presumably, the Greeks, well known for sponge diving, thought that there was a resemblance between sponges and fungi, as both are fibrous, compartmentalized, and "spongy."
