Literally, it means fungus in French. It's more often used to refer to a type of button mushroom.

champignon is French for mushroom, as opposed to "champion", which is pronounced similarly, but obviously means winner instead. In France, I once gaffed and bragged that I was a real "champignon" at some sport, only to prove that, like mushrooms, I was full of merde.

It is a smaller sort of delicate type of mushroom (not like the large field type) Quite often found on the shelf in the supermarkets in tins or jars-cooked ready to eat.
