Ronald Losure replied to Keith Burton:

Thanks, Keith. Not only does it look strange, it is strange. It is a parasitic flowering plant that gets its nutrition from fungi, rather than photosynthesis. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Monotropa_uniflora

Zijn het bloemen of zwammen wel heel apart

Ronald Losure replied to Fred Fouarge:

They are flowers, but instead of having chlorophyll, they get nutrients from fungi living in the soil. Thanks for visiting, Fred.

Thank you very much, micritter. I moved here 25 years ago, and the forest has been recovering since then.
