intertwined ghost pipe (Monotropa uniflora)
Floodplain of the Red Cedar River, Eastgate Park, Merdian Township, Michigan
This an interesting vascular plant that lack chlorophyll and is parasitic on mycorrhizal fungi that grow in association with plant rooots.
Shot with single off-camera flash (Leica SF60/Leica SF C1 trigger), camera right, slightly elevated above subject, modified with MagMod MagSphere diffuser.
