A genus of cup-shaped or disk-shaped fungi in the ascomycete group.
Modern scientific Latin from discus (disk), with the diminutive suffix -ina, creating a genus name for fungi with prominent disk-like structures.
Discina is a real fungal genus, and one species (Discina venosa) is called the 'veined false morel' and is actually edible when properly cooked—a mushroom hiding in plain sight with a Latin name!
