Do you mean the scientific names or simply in the Spanish language?

There is a few in this list
Pretty comprehensive list there. I thought I was going to finally know what the latin name for the mushroom sold as "lobster mushrooms" at Whole foods. A deep red, thick fleshed mushroom. But that common name wasn't in that list. Go figure...off to Google

Thanks Google - fascinating actually. Check out the Wikipedia entry;
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lobster_mushroom
Lobster mushroom (Hypomyces lactifluorum) is not a true mushroom. It is a parasitic mold that grows on mushrooms, turning them a reddish orange color that resembles the outer shell of a cooked lobster. In particular it colonizes members of the genera Lactarius (Milk-caps) and Russula, such as Russula brevipes and Lactarius piperatus in the western U.S.. At maturity, a lobster mushroom will so thoroughly cover its host that the underlying mushroom may be unidentifiable. Lobster mushrooms can parasitize a variety of mushrooms, some of which might be toxic, but lobsters are widely eaten and enjoyed by experts. They have a seafood-like flavor and a dense, meaty texture, but may taste peppery if an acrid Lactarius is colonized.
So it's not even a mushroom (technically). Maybe that's why I didn't see it on the list (well now I should probably go back and cross reference thsi latin name with that list, to see if in fact it is in there under a different common name - but I'm not gonna do that now...)
Amazing.

Lobster mushrooms are very yummy. Found a bunch after moving into my new place, missed their fruiting by a few days though so I only found enough fresh ones to have a taste. Have the dates marked down, will keep a close eye on the spot next year to see if they return. I also buried a bunch of bits and pieces of infected mushroom in a clean russula patch to see if I can get some there next year. No idea if you can move the parasite that way, but figured it was worth a try.
