A German-language nature post shared photos of Hallimasch, the honey fungus, for the hashtag FungiFriday, noting with surprise that the word 'Hallimasch' has no entry in the English Wikipedia. The author had assumed the term came from an indigenous American language, but discovered that English speakers simply call the mushroom 'honey fungus' or 'honey mushroom'.
