DIGEST 

The State of Texas has recognized terrestrial symbols as the bluebonnet,
the pecan tree, and the armadillo as tangible representation of the spirit
and heritage of our state.   

On September 23, 1991, a volunteer trail guide noticed an unusual,
three-inch fungus adjacent to an unpaved nature trail in River Legacy
Parks in Arlington, Texas.  It was immediately determined to be quite
different from any other fungus seen previously in the area. 

PURPOSE

As proposed, S.C.R. 27 submits the following resolution:

To designate the Devils' Cigar Fungus as the Official State Fungus of
Texas.
