Notes:
Found growing in the woods near a lake in Northern Wisconsin. Would this be some kind of toadstool? I could not find a picture in any of my plant books.

Forgot to mention the coolest thing about itÑit’s not a fungus. It’s a real plant, but without clorophyll; it’s a parasite growing *on* a fungus.
