Among the down-to-earth topics with which lawmakers dealt last week was the question of whether Washington should have a state fungus. One bill suggests it should, or at least could. House Bill 1812 asks lawmakers to bestow that honor on the pine mushroom, or Tricholoma magnivelare, if we’re being formal. Naming a state anything is often the quest of grade-schoolers who are trying to learn a lesson about how government works, and sometimes get a better lesson in how it doesn’t.
