Why is it masculine?
Champignons is masculine. While the word does derive from Latin "campaniola" (small bell), the gender assignment is better explained by the fact that Old French "champaignon" inherited the masculine gender from Latin "campaniola," where the diminutive suffix "-iola" typically produced feminine nouns in Latin itself. However, when this word entered Old French, it was reanalyzed and became masculine, likely due to phonetic changes and analogy with other French masculine nouns ending in "-on."
