Mushroom in Chinese and in Russian
1/2/2022
Today I encountered this Chinese Language Stack Exchange question etymology - Which came first? Chinese 蘑菇 or Mongolian мөөг? . Interesting question and exquisite answer that gives us the Chinese word for mushroom
- 蘑菇
- mushroom
Naturally, I also went and checked the Russian words for mushroom:
- мухомор - the red fly agaric
- поганка - poisonous mushroom
- белый гриб - porcini
- боровик - any mushroom related to porcini
