Sometimes a genus name or specific descriptor is simply the Latin or Greek name for the animal (e.g. Canis is Latin for ...
Unusual names have caused issues for scientists explaining genetic diseases to lay-people, such as when an individual is affected by a gene with an offensive or insensitive name. [13] This has particularly been noted in patients with a defect in the sonic hedgehog gene pathway and the disease formerly named CATCH22 for "cardiac anomaly, T-cell ...

Bioluminescent Mycena roseoflava Panellus stipticus, one of about 125 known species of bioluminescent fungi. Found largely in temperate and tropical climates, currently there are more than 125 known species of bioluminescent fungi, [1] all of which are members of the order Agaricales (Basidiomycota) with one possible exceptional ascomycete belonging to the order Xylariales.

Mycena rosea, commonly known as the rosy bonnet, [1] is a species of bioluminescent mushroom in the family Mycenaceae. First named Agaricus roseus in 1803 by Danish botanist Heinrich Christian Friedrich Schumacher , it was given its present name in 1912 by Gramberg.
It is known as the split-gill mushroom because of the unique, longitudinally divided nature of the namesake gills on the underside of the cap. This mushroom is found throughout the world. [1] It is found in the wild on decaying trees after rainy seasons followed by dry spells where the mushrooms are naturally collected.
L. deliciosus is an edible mushroom, [19] but may taste mild or bitter; [13] its misleading epithet, deliciosus ('delicious'), may have been caused by Linnaeus mistaking it for another species. [5] The mushrooms are collected in August to early October, where they are traditionally salted or pickled.
