Etymology
The word porcini comes from the Italian porco ('pig') and the small ending -ino ('little'), so porcini means 'little pigs'. One popular way to remember it is that pigs were once used to find these big, meaty mushrooms, and that's why porcini now names this rich, tasty mushroom used in cooking.
