Harmaakärpässienen tieteellinen nimi on Amanita vaginata

In 1783 Swedish mycologist Elias Magnus Fries transferred this species to the genus Amanita and named it Amanita vaginata. The generic name "grisette" comes from the French word gris, which means gray, and also applies to coarse grey woollen fabrics. The name was associated with young women of the French working class who wore gray dresses made of the material. The special epithet vaginata comes from the Latin vaginatus, which means "protected by a sheath". Which refers to the shape of the volva's shell that surrounds the base of a tree trunk.
