I'm copy/ pasting this from the internet. But basically Los Hongos are describing any fungus whether it's mold on bread, that which grows in unsanitary places, and maybe also mushrooms in a scientific sense. Las Setas describe specifically wild mushrooms. And Los Champiñones are the type of mushrooms used in common cooking.
"When I was in Spain eating champiñones I asked my host dad if there was a difference between hongos and champiñones and he said that champiñones are a type of hongo. My host mom also made a dish with setas which I saw somewhere as translated as "wild mushrooms." "
Thank you for the explanation...Champiñones sound better than hongos, but they both are funguses growing from dead matter... :) Amazing how something like that can taste good!
Eso es qué estudio en mi clase de español ... Champiñones maybe closer to French in meaning because of the latin influence. Spanish is like English with different words with the same meaning... Thanks for the response DougnutFluff!
When I was in the canary islands all the menu's called mushrooms champiñones.
In Canary Island and in other places of Spain, champiñones means a kind of agaricus, not all mushrooms. Hongo if it said like general mushroom. However, also it said for a kind of boletus.
If someone want to practice Spanish and English it would be fantastic. I have a middle/low level of English.
Me too some spqnish words.actually sound and look the same as the English words

Or setas... champiñones are button mushrooms. Hongos in Spain, atvkeast outside of very posh restaurants, is usually reserved for athlete's foot or other fungal diseases :-)
hooo... that's gonna be extra money there, sir. And don't forget, you never saw me...
Hilarious! This what we call the psychedelic ones! The humble culinary ones we just call cetas or champinones...champies for short
I would never want more mushrooms they should really ask you if you like the food or not first
You are learning a language, not being programed with phrades to regurgitate.
The Spanish hongo, for “mushroom,” doesn’t sound anything like its English counterpart, “mushroom.” But it does come from the Latin fungus from which we get the English synonym for mushroom… fungus.

That sounds like how Latin 'formica' became Spanish 'hormiga' (ant), and 'formosa' became 'hermosa' (beautiful).
The Japanese word for 'Japanese' is spoken as 'Nihongo'. Since some Japanese people have a style that looks like they've taken mushrooms, I always remember that 'hongo' means mushroom in Spanish.
I do not need to learn this because this is not a sentence i will ever use, due to the fact that i HATE mushrooms!!!!
Se diría: Odio los hongos/setas (No champiñones) o detesto los hongos/setas o aborrezco los hongos/setas etc.

Thank you for your reply :). I was just making a joke ;).
By the way, if you post your suggestion about practicing on Discussion, a lot of people will probably respond.
It was more about the word "hongos vs. Champiñones" and not the sentence... Lo siento que no te gusta champiñones...los son bueno si cocinó ciertamente con vino.
That is a strong word "hate"...Yo odio todo sobre hongos o champiñones. También, no me gusta hongos o champiñones.
when I put "fungi" instead of "mushrooms" it marked it wrong!please tell me why !
In Costa Rica the restaurants and grocery stores use "hongo" for mushroom--salsa de tomate con hongos, for example. Pharmacies also use "hongo" for athlete's foot or toenail fungus, which caused my mother no end of confusion. Meanwhile I've never seen "champiñones," but maybe I've been looking in the wrong places.
Eeeewwwwww i hate mushrooms
Tienes razón, lo es comprendió que " hongos más = mushrooms more and not more mushrooms = más hongos o más champiñones" :)
(SP) - (PT) - (EN)
SETA (sometimes champiñón) - cogumelo - mushroom - in french "champignon"
- maybe spanish speakers use "hongo" in general for any kind of fungus, including mushrooms, but I'm not completely sure
hongo - fungo - fungus
"Agaricus bisporus"
champiñón (champiñón común) - champignon (also champignon de Paris/cogumelo Paris) - portobello mushroom
Curiosity:
flecha - SETA (or "flecha") - arrow
señales de giro (turning signs) - SETAS de direção (literally turnin arrows)- turning sign (those yellow/orange blinking lights when driving)
Yes is silent in this case and in others.

sdicovisky2024, it marked you wrong because mushrooms are a FORM of fungi, not fungi in itself.
ningún hispanohablante diría jamás "quiero más hongos".
any spanish speaker would say that
- hongos = fungus. (skin/feet fungal infections)
- mushroom = champiñón/seta (obviously mushroom is a kind of fungus)
Third time to Mexico this year, not one menu referred to mushrooms as "hongos"- champiñón!
