Etymology

Hymenogastrales comes from the parts hymeno- 'membrane' and gastr- 'stomach', and the ending -ales shows it is an 'order' or group of fungi. So the name is like 'membrane-stomach', which helps you remember these fungi because they have a fleshy or waxy inner part that looks a little like a stomach.
