:-) No need. In most cases the insertion of h in Italian plurals is to conserve the sound of the singular. So gnocchi (of course pronounced nyokkee) has an h so it aurally resembles gnocco (nyokko). Without the h we would have gnocci (nyotchee) and all hell breaking loose in the cucina. Same principle at work in a pair like a fungo/funghi. Yes, there are irregulars but the rule is like that.
