Common names
[edit | edit source]An annual competition is run in the UK to give common names to species that currently only have Latin nomenclature, in order to make them more familiar to non-specialists. The fungus Octospora humosa, which is orange and grows among moss was given the name Hotlips, reflecting its bright colour and shape.
