Fungus amungus

While mowing the lawn, I noticed between the Arborvitae (Thuja occidentalis) a large purple fungus


Turns out is was an outbreak of Wood Blewit (Clitocybe nuda)



This all got me to thinking, maybe our president, George W. Bush, who used to be a fun-gi (guy) in college, has had some kind of mushrooms affecting his brain, allowing him to even consider "clarifying" our interpretation of the Geneva Conventions to allow for secret CIA interogations (torture.)
Can 01-20-2009 get here soon enough?
