"fungus" meaning in Latin

See fungus in All languages combined, or Wiktionary

Noun

IPA: /ˈfun.ɡus/ [Classical-Latin], [ˈfʊŋɡʊs̠] [Classical-Latin], /ˈfun.ɡus/ (note: modern Italianate Ecclesiastical), [ˈfuŋɡus] (note: modern Italianate Ecclesiastical)
Etymology: Originally sfungus. Along with Ancient Greek σπόγγος (spóngos), "sponge" (whence Latin spongia), σφόγγος (sphóngos), and Old Armenian սունկն (sunkn), likely a loanword from a non-Indo-European substrate language. Possibly also related to Georgian სოკო (soḳo), Tsez зикӏу (zik’u), Bezhta сакӏо (sakʼo), Moksha панга (panga) and Erzya панго (pango, “mushroom”). Linguists such as Kluge and Kroonen have suggested a connection to English swamp and its Germanic cognates.

Possibly also related to Georgian სოკო (soḳo), Tsez зикӏу (zik’u), Bezhta сакӏо (sakʼo), Moksha панга (panga) and Erzya панго (pango, “mushroom”). Linguists such as Kluge and Kroonen have suggested a connection to English swamp and its Germanic cognates.",
