Fruiting Bodies

Years and years ago I worked with a girl who was having some fungus problems at home in the bathroom. it was a major ongoing saga about her battle against the forces of dry rot, and each day we would get an update on her fruiting bodies.

At first I thought it was a term she had made up, then I thought for a while that it was specific to dry rot, but of course it is the general term for the 'fruit' of any fungus plant. For some random reason the forces of nostalgia forced the phrase back into my mind today.

And today I found that there is a company selling fungus-based products called Fruiting Bodies. Its a good name for a fungus-related company, but a great name for a band!

Anyway, Fruiting Bodies would have been good for a late 80's "Madchester" band, with at least one member who does nothing but dance in their videos.
