Morphology
The compound simply names a type of fungus by combining a specific descriptor 'shaggymane' (a tall, shaggy-capped edible mushroom) with the category 'mushroom', so the overall meaning is directly derivable from the parts. This noun+noun naming pattern is compositional and common cross-linguistically, so a B1 learner who knows both constituents can infer the meaning.
Etymology
Shaggymane mushroom comes from the mushroom's long white cap that looks like a shaggy animal's mane, and the words shaggy and mane describe that hairy, messy top. So, the name points to a mushroom you can easily spot by its long, shaggy cap.
