That's ghost pipe a parasitic plant with no chlorophyll that gets its nutrients from mycelial networks

so like..now what!? Does the relationship deteriorated between heath and their mycorrhiza? Do the mycelium put ghost pipe to work as manager of overgrowth? Do heath at large front the bill well enough that a lil parasitism between friends is ok? It'll take a 1000 years to find out

ghost pipe changed so much over the course of evolutionary time that it started relying on those mycelial relationships exclusively to the point of obligate parasitism and lost it's pigment completely and the mycelium doesn't really do much about it because to it all heaths feel the same

They also share the same or very similar mycorrhizal relationship:the "ericoid mycorrhiza" pretty much every mycorrhizal relationship is specific between certain plants and certain fungi.

Like, mutualism can be such a precarious relationship, and this is such a good example. Currently we think ghost pipe is a heath. rhodies,blueberries, and heather are all common examples of this plant family, heaths are specialists at growing in acidic nutrient poor environments
