Elaphocordyceps ophioglossoides — in case you did n’t know — is a coinage of fungus , and while its scientific name is certainly elegant , it does n’t just roll off the lingua . As such , it has a recommend common name : Snaketongue Truffleclub .
TheBritish Mycological Societyhas anenormous listof fungi species with their scientific and rough-cut English names . It ’s a lexical journeying that does not disappoint , and in earnest , if someone does n’t feel compelled to follow up on mycology and/or get a orca set name out of this , we ’ll be very disappointed .
