Ghost plant, Monotropa uniflora - a photo on Flickriver

            Ghost plant has no chlorophyll. It is parasitic on Russula fungi such as the mushroom in the previous photo. Ultimately deriving its energy from nearby trees, it gives nothing back to the mycorrhizal fungi and tree. Ghost plant grows in deep shade where few other herbaceous plants can thrive.

Thank you to everyone who visits, faves, and comments.
