Why is it masculine?
Funghi is masculine because it derives from Latin "fungus," which was a masculine noun of the second declension (-us ending), and Italian preserved this grammatical gender when the word evolved. The Latin term itself likely came from a non-Indo-European source, possibly related to Greek "sphongos" (sponge), reflecting the fungus's porous nature.
