Good find. Lemmy really needs a good backpacking community, a shame they're all reddit reposts with no discussion.
I tend to post a lot of pictures taken while hiking. Also flowers and whatnot. I really only do day hikes though, back and hip can’t handle the ground like it used to.
That a plant or a fungus???
It is considered a plant.
Interestingly they are non chlorophyll plants that feed off certain fungi.
Plot twist!
Chlorophyll? More like BORE-ophyll!
Such an amazing plant. I would keep it as a houseplant if it weren’t impossible
holy crap thats awesome
I have many of these in my back yard every year. They are closely related to blueberries! I wouldnt eat one but apparently you can for a good time!
I found an ecosite once, that had them everywhere. Like it was hard not to step on them.
