Field Notes
Description:
A small flower that almost could pass as a fungus. It grows off of detritus since it does not produce its own food with chlorophyll (hence the white stalks).
Supposedly, the plant is edible and tastes like asparagus when cooked. Not knowing much about edible wild plants, I would not attempt to eat this before consulting someone with extensive knowledge.
