eat-bolete Posted August 18, 2015 Report Share Posted August 18, 2015 Maybe I'm the only one but I'm sometimes struggling with correct pronunciation of fungi names. For example, Tylopilus...how do you pronounce that? Tai-lo-pee-lus? Tee-lo-pai-lus? Where do you put stress on Lactarius (Lactifluus) volemus? Is it volEmus or vOlemus? Google is pretty useless to find these answers. Can't think of other names with questionable pronunciation so help me out here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dualsetters Posted August 18, 2015 Report Share Posted August 18, 2015 I think Latin and or Greek are used in Linnaean classification so I believe the accepted way is the same as Spanish. Ah a e o eww I think you accent the first syllable, but it's been years since i had Spanish class Comprende Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Old Oak Posted August 19, 2015 Report Share Posted August 19, 2015 I'd go Tai-lo-pee-lus...that said I am no authority on the matter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
