The Fungus Amongus

I hate to tell such a bad and off repeated joke, but it's so fitting!

This past Sunday we had our last fresh herbs class for the semester. We met up at Aiea Loop Trail and learned how to cure cancer while it rained.

Then during our sort lunch break Zach got me to take some pics of a crazy mushroom he found. As you can see it's pretty crazy.

Shifu later told us that it was a "heiau mushroom" a "devil mushroom" and a mushroom that the

Hawaiians used to talk to the dead or something to that effect.

It certainly looks scary.

On a related note, I succeeded in distracting our biomed class for a little but today by bringing up the Humongous Fungus - which everyone who took botany at Michigan Tech knows - is located in the UP.

Apparently, there is some consent about which humongous fungus really is the most humongous... looking around for this little blurb I found this - a much larger humongous fungus!
