The name "Puffstool" is a combination of "puff", referring to how it blows out spores, and "toadstool" (mushroom), referring to its appearance. The "puff" can also come from the name "{{w|Puffball|puffball}}" which is given to any fungi in the division {{w|Basidiomycota}}. Its Japanese name is {{j|ボケナメコ|Boke Nameko}}, which translates to "Stupid Nameko". A {{w|Pholiota nameko|nameko}} is a type of mushroom, and the adjective stupid is because of its appearance and behavior, mostly over how it trips when running away. Internally, the enemy is known as <code>kinoko</code>, which is the Japanese word {{j|きのこ|kinoko|mushroom|f=tp}}.
