This phrase is a straightforward compositional noun phrase: the taxonomic headword 'order' (a rank in biological classification) combined with the proper name 'Auriculariales' yields 'the taxonomic order called Auriculariales.' The structure and meaning follow standard, cross-linguistic taxonomic naming patterns, so a learner who knows both constituents can infer the MWE meaning.

Etymology

Order Auriculariales comes from the part Auriculariales, a name that means 'ear' because many mushrooms in this group look like small ears. So, order Auriculariales refers to the 'group' of these ear-shaped mushrooms.
