He also informed me that my information on Indian Pipes (see my last post) was not quite correct. Apparently it is not a fungus itself, but rather a parasitic plant that depends on a fungus for its nutrients since does not have chlorophyll and hence cannot produce it's own food. Interesting stuff! (Maybe I should hit up my Dad for a better picture of Indian Pipes, too....)
Thanks, Dad!

Thanks for sharing on the Indian Pipes. I saw many last week at Boy Scout camp and on my mental to do list was to figure out what they were. The boys told me their name. I assumed they were a mushroom but they said they were plants. Have not seen my photos of them yet, need to download camera. Thanks.
