Etymology

From хатырыктаах (qatïrïktaaq, “scaly”) (from хатырык (qatïrïk, “scale”)) + бөх (böq, “garbage, litter”) + тэллэй (telley, “mushroom”).

Why this name? As the English Wikipedia article (accessed 24 August 2022) has it, "This mushroom is unusual because it will turn black and dissolve itself in a matter of hours after being picked or depositing spores."
