2005-07-23: Indian pipe

Holyoke Range State Park, Amherst, Mass., USA

A stand of Indian pipe (Monotropa uniflora) near the summit of Mt. Norwottuck in the Holyoke Range State Park. Indian pipe may look like a fungus to the uninitiated, but it is a flowering plant that has evolved to live off of other plants instead of photosynthesis. Tom Volk's fungus page has more information about Monotropa uniflora.
