Literature : Willem Boshoff (2022) The Oh No! Dictionary, Johannesburg: The Ampersand Foundation, another impression illustrated in black and white on page 25.
Notes : Living in straw or on the stems of grass, as certain fungi do – from the Latin culm 'stalk' and colere 'to inhabit'. Words like culmiculous and nidicolous (living in a nest) are pronounced like ridiculous. A culm is the stem of a plant, especially a jointed grass stalk and a culmiferous plant grows stalks. Culm is also soot and mud. – Willem Boshoff, The Oh No! Dictionary
