If someone wants a chinese translation of purple mushroom, it'll be zi (se) mo gu (紫色蘑菇). Zi (紫) is purple. Se (色) is "colour", but it is usually added to every colour character so it becomes 紫色 (white--> 白色 and so on). Then there's mo gu (蘑菇), usually meaning mushroom, but sometimes can refer to the button mushroom. Dong gu(冬菇), I believe that is the mushroom they are referring to, would usually mean Shiitake mushroom, rarely (mostly during informal speech) referring to mushroom in general.
