The origin of the specific epithet rhacodes is unclear, as it was spelt either rachodes,rhachodes or rhacodes in early mycological publications. The basis may be Greek words meaning either 'rag' (as in raggy scales, which seems most likely) or less plausibly 'bush' (a reference to the habitat needs of this mushroom, possibly).
