Sorry for breaking the one month rule a bit, but I'd like to point out that the word 'atlhqam is used on the EuroTalk DVD, apparently as an approximation to describe either:
1) mushrooms in general
2) food mushrooms in general
3) "the common mushroom", Agaricus bisporus - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Agaricus_bisporus
One could perhaps see which of these is more likely by checking translations in other languages, or perhaps qe'San could shine some light on the matter.

Animal feet are mentioned:
KGT 92: One way to bring fermentation about is to mix the food with a fungus (known as {'atlhqam}) usually scraped off the bottom of certain animals' feet, though it also grows on trees.
