Fungi Pubis Mondo Bizarro

After I took this photograph yesterday, I went into town to the grocery store to get Wheat Thins (Low Fat) and Neufchâtel Cream Cheese for a small dinner party we're having tonight. As I was walking down the aisle to the checkout, I noted that my knees and elbows were still covered with mud - from crouching down to get the shot of this 1-1/2" high mondo bizarro fungus (or mold?) - which was growing out of a very ripe/partially decayed dog turd. Or is it "terd"?

I didn't notice any strange looks. Maybe no one noticed. They may have been preoccupied with the Girl Scout Cookie sales out front.
