A photo with two non-photosynthetic parasitic unrelated plants in the same shot. Ghost pipe on the left, beechdrops on the right.
Two plant parasites in one! #plantsky #parasiticplants #ghostpipe #beechdrops
The bell blossom of a ghost pipe. The fruit has ripened and the plant is dry, brown, and beginning to wither.
A small cluster of dried ghost pipe with recently ripened fruit.
When ghost pipe dries up, it looks like carved wood. #bloomscrolling #ghostpipe #monotropa
A black and white Tim Burton flower almost ready to fruit. It looks like two beady monster eyes popping out of the ground.
Zoomed in closer.
Close-up shot of one of the beady eyes.
SHE'S WATCHING YOU. #spooky #ghostpipe #bloomscrolling #weirdnature #monotropes
I always see Ghost Pipes when hiking around New York, but these looked quite lovely

Old Monotropa uniflora aka Ghost Pipes- mycoheterotrophic plant that takes nutrients from members of the Russulaceae family.

A ghost pipe flowering. Behind it is a cluster of dried ghost pipes. Fallen next to it is another flowering ghost pipe.
This ghost's sibling collapsed and now it needs to guard its parents all by itself. #ghostpipe #goth
View of the canopy from below - squirrels, birds, deer, and more!
Two patches of Ghost Pipe mushroom. Very very delicate, it survives by attaching to trees and other plant roots. I think it also provides something beneficial to the arrangement.
Up close on one patch of Ghost Pipes. I love their look, but they wilt smallest immediately if touched!
Panorama of the woods behind our house. We own most of this small section, and it's been a joy to visit over the last 25 years.

And a beautiful forest floor.
From me, to you, enjoy the view.

The #ghostpipe tincture on the right was harvested 24 hours ago versus some harvested this morning
I come across an abundance of #ghostpipe every year and have only ever admired it...I harvested some this year to make a tincture..Still researching it's many uses #tallgrassprairie #Manitoba
An example of Monotropa uniflora. A pale plant with no chlorophyll. They are in a group centered in the image. They almost all face the same direction, toward the right side. The flowers are the same colourless pale shade, and the heads are drooped. The petals have a feathery appearance that follows back along the stem. They all rise from thick pine duff on the forest floor. There are small sticks criss crossing around them, and a scattering of small green leaved shoots too.
I was up to shenanigans today.
You've been warned.

Flowers blooming of the Ghost Pipe plant trying to attract a bee to polinate... a plant without chlorophyll growing in the dark Pacific Northwest fir and cedar forests.
Instead of generating energy from sunlight it is a parasite feeding off fungi.

The Ghost Pipe lacks chlorophyl and does not harness energy from the sun. Instead, this plant uses fungi as a source of nourishment. #ghostpipe #monotropauniflora #wildflowers #cattarauguscounty #wny
Ghost pipe is abundant on the Beaver Creek
trail at Little Beaver State Park, WV

I spent the weekend in the Great Smoky Mountains and got to see a plant I had read so much about! The #ghostpipe does not photosynthesize but instead gets nutrients from fungi!
Dried seeding form of Monotropa hypopitys (pinesap).
Dried seeding Monotropa uniflora (ghost pipe).
How fun! Both Monotropa hypopitys and Monotropa uniflora growing in the same stand of pitch pine. #pinesap #ghostpipe #parasiticplants #botany #plantsky
Excited to see @savannahanez.bsky.social's #ethnobotany survey on #ghostpipe (Monotropa uniflora) now published in J Economic Botany!
Looking at ghostpipe knowledge in the digital age and who/what/why people are using it as a #medicinal #plant. Congrats!!

Photograph of ghost pipe, Monotropa uniflora, growing out of the decomposing leaf matter of a forest. The ghost pipe are a bone-white color, starkly contrasting the dark brown leaves in the background.
Monotropa uniflora, or ghost pipe, a strange little plant that often grows in shady forest underbrush and decaying leaves. I distinctly remember the smell of their environment; musky, earthy, and pungent with rain from an unusually wet spring.
