knob
could also just be a 'knob' - although mushroom is no doubt a more specific translation, and clearly refers to the shape, to be honest I've never seen it used in furniture assembly instructions... difficult to be sure without context, but I reckon there's a fair chance that this is the clearest option (bearing in mind furniture assembly instructions OUGHT to be clear ;-) )
Discussion
togliere la prolunga dall'imballo ed inserire i funghetti in dotazione nei fori indicati - It looks more like a screw than knob to me.
I'm starting to worry that a Moderator's going to step in soon about the language! Joke!
