Wordless Wednesday: Indian Pipes (fungi)

ADDED 13 July 2012: Rebecca from "Rebecca in the Woods" corrected me. This is not a fungus. See the comments for more information.

    Nice! Just found our first Indian Pipe of the season here yesterday so I'll probably be doing a post on it soon myself.

    Technically speaking it's a plant, not a fungus... but I know that's confusing. I had a long conversation with my dad yesterday trying to explain why that's the case.
