So after Christ had been fixed to a wooden cross using mushroom-shaped bolts hammered using mushroom-shaped hammers through his mushroom-shaped hands and was almost at his last breath, some one decided to affix a sponge (Gk spoggos) to a reed or spear or stick, soak the sponge in vinegar/sour wine/foul fungus feces and then press the wet sponge against the lips of Christ, whereupon Christ dies.
From Greek spoggos, the Latins are thought to have derived the word fungus - so for those in the know (ie not fungin-idiots) this part of the story most assuredly gives away the mushroom theme.
While many Xians cannot decide whether the sponge was soaked in vinegar (made from grapes fermented in a vessel exposed to air) or sour wine (originally made from grapes fermented in a vessel not exposed to air but after fermentation later soured by exposure to air) (Greek oxos) - the generic term foul fungus feces could apply equally to both.
This story poses a difficulty with many Xians who cannot decide whether to treat this episode as a mockery, a reality or something else. But with the Greek word for mockery mwkos playing upon the Greek word for mushroom mukes, methinks this episode should be viewed as another play upon fungi, that makes a mockery of almost everything the Jews wrote or implied in their Bible.
Since the so-called New Testament was written in the Greek language, whose words containing vowels give a more accurate and less confusing message unlike vowel-less Hebrew, and that the Greek language is known to have been spoken from at least the middle of the second millennium BCE we may take it that a great many Greeks were very well informed about their own history, even unto the Mycenaean (Mukenaian) civilisation of ancient Greece having been named after a mushroom by the legendary Greek hero Perseus. I personally think the Mukenaian civilisation was named after the monstrous mushroom cloud that arose from the Thera volcanic eruption and from the mushrooms that grew out of the fallout of volcanic ash from this eruption and the dust of numerous earthquakes that occured in the southern Aegean.
One of the myths about Mukenaian Perseus tells of him destroying a sea-monster at Iope (modern Jaffe/Joppe - remember Joffa-boy of Zig and Zag fame) situated near Tel Aviv along the coast of Israel, in order to save his future wife Andromeda. This legendary episode is dated around the 14th century BC, roughly between the reigns of Egyptian pharaohs Akhenaten and Tutankhamun when, according to the Bible, the Jews were supposedly midway through their 400 year stint of captivity/oblivion in Egypt doing wtf knows. Much Mukenaian material has been found in Israel and Egypt to give substance to the myths of Perseus in this region.
