 Ron Paul -- The Modern Cincinnatus   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
It is said that the Founders modeled their "citizen statesman" after the example of Cincinnatus of Rome.
In the early days of the Roman Republic around 450 BC, Lucius Quinctius Cincinnatus was a private farmer who left his plough to lead his countrymen in battle against enemy invaders, then returned to his pastoral life, only to be called again later to lead the Republic as Consul in a time of political crisis.
Cincinnatus has, thus, been handed down over the centuries as a prime example of the citizen statesman who does not seek office and political power as a lifetime career, but gives service to his country by his leadership when called.

 History of the Society of the Cincinnati
In the Fifth Century, B.C., Cincinnatus, a farmer, was called upon to leave his fields and lead Rome into battle.

 Laetiporus cincinnatus (MushroomExpert.Com)
One recently published eastern North American species is Laetiporus cincinnatus, which is apparently genetically different, and which cannot "mate" with Laetiporus sulphureus (loosely speaking, "mating" is determined when the cells of two fungal organisms will fuse together in culture).
Laetiporus cincinnatus fruits from the roots of trees (thus often appearing terrestrial), which helps to separate it from Laetiporus sulphureus, which typically fruits on logs or well above the ground on stumps and trees.
Laetiporus cincinnatus is every bit as edible as Laetiporus sulphureus--in fact, Tom Volk believes Laeticporus cincinnatus is better than the "true" Chicken of the Woods, and argues that Laeticporus cincinnatus specimens are often nearly entirely soft and palatable, while Laetiporus sulphureus specimens may be tough except at their extreme outer edges (see link below).
