Good resource but I didn't see mushroom:

New England Algonquian Language Revival

Might be there was no generic word for mushroom but specific words to describe type?

In Cherokee: Mushroom = u-lo-que

Maybe a clue at least?

Whatever it is, I bet it's longer and harder to pronounce than Quononchontaug or Segenekontacket
