Morphology

order + Hypocreales

The phrase simply combines the taxonomic noun 'order' (a grouping in biological classification) with the proper name 'Hypocreales', so its meaning — the order called Hypocreales — is directly and transparently derived from the constituents. This rank+name composition is a standard, cross-linguistically common pattern, making it immediately understandable to a B1 learner who knows both words.

Etymology

The name order Hypocreales may come from Greek words meaning 'under flesh', because many fungi in this group form soft, bright, flesh-like growths on wood and soil. That's why the name matches this group of fungi today.
