Morphology

grainy + club + mushroom

This is a straightforward descriptive noun phrase: 'grainy' (textured) + 'club' used attributively (club-shaped) + 'mushroom', so the meaning 'a mushroom with a grainy texture and a club-like shape' is directly derivable from the parts. The modifier+modifier+noun pattern is common in English and cross-linguistically familiar, so a B1 learner who knows the constituent words would readily understand it.

Etymology

Grainy club mushroom gets its name from how it looks: these mushrooms have a rough, grain-like surface (grainy) and a long, rounded shape like a small club, so the name describes 'mushrooms' with a grainy texture and a club-like shape.
