A newly discovered fungus (aka mushroom to chefs) was named after the popular cartoon SpongeBob SquarePants because of its sea sponge shape. It does not have the cap and stem look common to fungi and no one is sure if it's edible. The look alike sponge was found by Dennis Desjardin, a Biology professor from San Francisco State University, not in his garden but in the island of Borneo.
Scientific name: Spongebob squarepantsii
