Etymology

Middle English musheron, musseron, from Old French mousseron, from Medieval Latin mussiriōnem, musariōnem, accusative of mussiriō, musariō "mushroom", from Old French mousse "moss" (—first applied to a type of fungus which grows in moss), of Germanic origin, from Low Frankish *mosa (“moss”) or Old Dutch mosa "moss", both from Proto-Germanic *musan, *musē-n, *miuzi-z (“moss, bog”) from Proto-Indo-European *meus- (“moss, mold, mildew”). Akin to Old High German mos "moss, bog", Old High German mios "moss, mire",
Old English mēos "moss", Old English mōs "bog, marsh", Old Norse mosi "moss", Old Norse myrr "bog, mire". Replaced native swamm "mushroom" from Old English. More at mire
