Dear members,
All these derive from the IE cluster sp-or sph- or sv-, meaning spreading.In Greek this manifests in words like sponge, sphere, etc.

So may be connexion between

French SPHAIGNE = Latin/Greek SPHAGNUM/SPHAGNOS = moss


and


FUNGUS/SPONGOS = mushroom = French mousseron



and other cognates IE


mushroom :


Georgian : Sok-o

Armenian: Sunk/Sung

Old Slave : Gomba from old (s)ghombos ?

English Spunk from Irish Sponnc (?) : Touchwood and courage

But Middle Irish Spongc = Tussilago


Outside IE

Magayar : Bolong Gomba (may be from Slave)

Mordve : Pango

Khanti : Panx

Samoyède : Punka

Ket : Hango

Tchoutchke : Pon/Ponmpo

Can we add English spunk, punk, to this set?

Probably
and I was wondering where sphagnum (moss) is from
