A worldwide community photographing and learning about wildlife
Monotropa uniflora
A small flower that almost could pass as a fungus. It grows off of detritus since it does not produce its own food with chlorophyll (hence the white stalks). Supposedly, the plant is edible and tastes like asparagus when cooked. Not knowing much about edible wild plants, I would not attempt to eat this before consulting someone with extensive knowledge.

Nice.
Thanks again for the comments! I was excited to find this, having never seen it before.
Very nice! I like how you got the interior of the one flower.
