Post by: dirty24d on May 27, 2010, 09:34:14 PM: I been looking on the internet and it is a type of fungi. called monotropa uniflora . I think. Or mosre specifically this tpe looks to be broom rape or indians pipe.

Post by: lokidog on May 27, 2010, 09:40:37 PM: Not a fungi! A plant without chlorophyl. They are parasitic/saprophytic meaning they get their energy from other plants alive or dead. Some orchids fit this bill as do Indian Pipes (often white, lookes like a pipe). Here is one that is close... These are parasitic on fungi but are plants.

http://www.botany.org/parasitic_plants/Sarcodes_sanguinea.php (http://www.botany.org/parasitic_plants/Sarcodes_sanguinea.php) Just started looking though.

Hope this helps.
