RE: mock privet
Mock privet is a common term used to refer to various species of shrubs or small trees in the genus Phillyrea, particularly Phillyrea latifolia, native to the Mediterranean region. They are evergreen plants with glossy, dark green leaves, and often used in landscaping for their ornamental attributes. The term mock privet is used because these plants resemble the true privets (genus Ligustrum), but are not closely related.

RE: beggarwoman
Begging (also panhandling) is the practice of imploring others to grant a favor, often a gift of money, with little or no expectation of reciprocation. A person doing such is called a beggar or panhandler. Beggars may operate in public places such as transport routes, urban parks, and markets. Besides money, they may also ask for food, drinks, cigarettes or other small items.
Internet begging is the modern practice of asking people to give money to others via the Internet, rather than in person. Internet begging may encompass requests for help meeting basic needs such as medical care and shelter, as well as requests for people to pay for vacations, school trips, and other things that the beggar wants but cannot comfortably afford.Beggars differ from religious mendicants in that some mendicants do not ask for money. Their subsistence is reciprocated by providing society with various forms of religious service, moral education, and preservation of culture. -

RE: zigadene
There seems to be confusion here, as zigadene does not appear to be a recognized term in any standard dictionaries or scientific classifications. Its possible that there might be a spelling mistake or misunderstanding. Please provide more context. For example, Zigadenus is a genus of flowering plants in the family Melanthiaceae, which could potentially be referred to as zigadenes.

RE: nameko
Pholiota microspora, commonly known as Pholiota nameko or simply nameko (ナメコ), is a small, amber-brown mushroom with a slightly gelatinous coating that is used as an ingredient in miso soup and nabemono. In some countries this mushroom is available in kit form and can be grown at home. It is one of Japans most popular cultivated mushrooms, tastes slightly nutty and is often used in stir-fries. They are also sold dried.Nameko is a cold triggered mushroom that typically fruits in the fall months when the temperature drops below 10°C for the first time, and flushes twice a few weeks apart.
In Mandarin Chinese the mushroom is known as 滑子蘑; (Pinyin: huá zi mó) or 滑菇; (Pinyin: huá gū).
In Russia it is also consumed widely, and is known as (often sold as) opyonok (опёнок) or plural opyata (опята).
In America the mushroom is sometimes called a butterscotch mushroom.
