Muy buena la discusión - Y de acuerdo que la etimología es algo de gran
importancia en estos estudios.

Surely "moixernó", a Catalonian name for a kind of mushroom, is related to "mousseron", too. That was the name that came to my mind when I read "mousseron". "Mussario" reminds me "amanita muscaria".

I don't know any more. The amanita muscaria = fly agaric, so I guess the muscaria is more to do with mosca than mussario.

I've seen that amanita muscaria is also called "matamoscas", so, you must be right.
