From the Wikipedia link, it looks to only favor the Russulaceae members! That is a very interesting plant and something I gotta keep note of next time I find any member of that family. Thanks for the link ForestDragon. :)

Jackie, I'm not sure it qualifies as parasitic, since I don't think it harms the host fungus on the trees' roots, but it is certainly VERY interesting and one of my favorites!

more ghost plant :) it's one of my favorites! It doesn't have chlorophyll like most plants, that's why it's white. It's also parasitic.
