Morphology
The noun phrase is fully compositional: 'oriental' (East Asian) + 'black' (color) + 'mushroom' (fungus) yields the straightforward meaning of a black mushroom from East Asia, which a learner who knows the separate words can infer. While specific culinary or botanical details (e.g., inedible stem) require background knowledge, the basic referent and origin are transparently deducible.
Etymology
Oriental black mushroom is a name that gives a simple picture: Oriental means 'from the East', black shows its dark top, and mushroom says it is an edible fungus. So the name refers to a dark, edible mushroom from East Asia often used in cooking.
