Mycelium, what's in a name?

Dear Val,

 Regarding names.
  A couple of weeks ago in the Mairie  in Cordes I was waiting to buy my annual parking permit. Ahead of me a very attractive young couple who were registering the birth of their  very new baby. I couldn't help noticing that they have chosen the name  Mycelium for this tiny innocent. I was tempted to ask if they know the meaning of this name, but didn't.  According to the staff any name can now be regsistered in France, but surely there must be a llne drawn somewhere? ..
A wag at the book  swap suggested that Mycelium  could be the name of a Roman emperor. I do hope so.

Val says well that will have everyone googling the name.
