Morphology

Tricholoma + sejunctum

This is a Latin binomial (scientific name) rather than a compositional English phrase: 'Tricholoma' is a genus label and 'sejunctum' is a specific epithet not found in general dictionaries, so the detailed meaning (a mushroom species with particular cap features) cannot be derived from the constituent words. Even if a learner recognized 'Tricholoma' as a mushroom genus, the overall taxonomic name functions as a proper noun requiring prior knowledge, making the expression unpredictable to a B1 learner.

Etymology

Tricholoma sejunctum may come from old Greek and Latin parts that describe the mushroom's look: tricho- means 'hair', -loma means 'edge', and sejunctum means 'separated'. This fits the dark, hair-like center and the yellow, more separated edges of the cap, so the name helps you picture the mushroom.
