Field Notes
Description:
last campsite in Kings Canyon was covered in these red inflorescences.
Habitat:
pushing up through a few inches of pine needles, these tall red stalks were usually found under trees in the shade. This is because the flowers are parasites of the fungi attached to the roots of the trees.
Notes:
lack of chlorophyll, myco-parasitic.
