In what context is a girolle not a mushroom, but some kind of culinary tool?

When it is used to shave cheese... "The Girolle is a utensil, which was conceived to simplify the scratching of the Tête de Moine Swiss Cheese in form of beautiful "rosettes", hence also called "Girolles". Since its invention in 1982 by Nicolas Crevoisier of Swiss Jura, more than 2 million users in households and restaurants have been enjoying the authentic unique savour of the cheese invented and produced by the monks of the Abbaye of Bellelay" http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Girolle_(utensil) May 28 09, 4:39 PM
