I see these all over the Midwest. Learn about how Monotropa uses the fungal connection between tree roots to siphon nutrients on this old webpage recommended by the US Forest Service.

That’s really cool - I had heard a bit about parasitic plants, but I did not know that they were fully non-photosynthetic! Thanks for sharing :-)
Interesting little plants. And definitely pretty. Thanks for the photo and the link!
