Etymology edit

From jelen (“deer”) +‎ -ka. Old common name, which used to be used for mushrooms of the genera Elaphomyces^{WP WSp Commons} and Phallus^{WP WSp Commons}. Since 1901 the name is used solely for the genus Elaphomyces, following the suggestion of Czech botanist Jan Bezděk.^[1] The name probably reflects the fact that these mushrooms are liked by deer.
