Shiinotic may be based on bioluminescent mushrooms such as those of the genus ''{{wp|Mycena}}''. It also features a volval sac and wide-brimmed warty cap, which are trademarks of the ''{{wp|Amanita}}'' family. Its {{t|Fairy}} type may be due to the fact that both families are known to grow in {{wp|fairy ring}}s, or it may possibly be a reference to {{wp|foxfire|fairy fire}}. From its name, Shiinotic may have some aspects of the {{wp|shiitake}} mushroom as well. | Shiinotic may be based on bioluminescent mushrooms such as those of the genus ''{{wp|Mycena}}''.

Due to its emphasis on shining light, and some of its foreign names including it, Shiinotic may also intentionally resemble a {{wp|Light fixture|lamp}}, especially a bedside lamp.
