Plant No. 9

Posted June 19, 2004  

I found this growing in the crawl space of a seldom used vacation home. The house is located in a wooded subdivision in the eastern panhandle of West Virginia. It is growing in almost total darkness and with very little moisture, other than humidity.

From Chrisopher in Michigan - This is probably Epifagus sp. a.k.a beech drops, pine drops, Indian pipe, cancer root.

2 - From the picture this resembles what we in Michigan call a Coral
Mushroom. Here it grows in woody areas following damp and dreary days
when our air temp is 70 or so.
