Hi I need help folks. I can't remember seeing this before. It was close to Cascade Falls. It appears to be a fungi with flower-like traits. Any ideas?  |

Maybe Indian Pipe (Monotropa uniflora)? Perfect. Thanks merlinator; you are right on. It looks like it is a flower and not a fungus. Having no chorolphyll it feeds on dead matter. I googled it and it has a fascinating story. Other names-Indian Pipe; Ice-plant; Ghost-flower; Corpse-plant |

Len, thanks for posting that. Like you I read up on it. Interesting that it has no chorlophyll. I thought all plants had chorlophyll.
