the.com/sulphur tuft
the cheerful yellow mushroom clustering on stumps that will absolutely wreck your dinner
means A small, bright-yellow gilled mushroom that grows in dense clusters on dead wood and tree stumps, common in woodlands and notoriously bitter and poisonous to eat.
from A plain descriptive English name: "sulphur" for the brimstone-yellow cap, recalling the old word for that pale yellow mineral (from Latin sulphur/sulpur), and "tuft" for its habit of erupting in tight bunched clusters, from the Old French touffe meaning a clump or cluster of growth. Its Latin name, Hypholoma fasciculare, says much the same thing more sternly — fasciculare meaning "in little bundles."
