Tamara,
a sponge is a Schwamm in German
Schlamm is in English as Sue mentioned mould
and what Jo mentioned for mushroom reminds me also on something like
this.
Bevv found perhaps the "nearest" explanation: sham imitatio,
conterfeit, pretence
But than I am wondering why U. V. used an English expression.
I don't know but it si interesting to look at "words from every side"
