The following Wolfram web page shows the probability density functions for two identical bosons in a square potential well. It also shows the probability density for two identical fermions.

So it appears that each is just a 90 degree rotation of the other. That doesn't seem correct. If Bosons can share the same state, shouldn't their lowest state just be a single blob in the middle (per the ground state for a single particle)? I know that quantum mechanics is very non-intuitive, so I'm probably missing something. Please help to explain this. Thank you.
