Usage notes

Although the word lošák should be declined as masculine inanimate, in practical colloquial usage the animate declension also sometimes appears.^[3]

The species belonging to the genera Hydnum and Sarcodon were originally classified as one genus (Hydnum), called lošák in Czech. After the two genera split and received different scientific names, the Czech name lošák has remained in usage for both of them, although many Czech mycologists have preferred calling the fungi of the genus Hydnum lišák, reserving the name lošák for the fungi of the genus Sarcodon.
