Found a ghost pipe in the wild! It’s a rare all white wildflower doesn’t photosynthesize, it steals food from fungi connected to trees.

Spotted in the Adirondacks. Nerd knowledge from reading Entangled Life 🍄‍🟫

So funny you say that!! I have been a huge fan of Kratom forever. But that’s Asian.. I had no idea we had something this powerful on our continent!! Did you infuse them???

Next time, take a jar of everproof or vodka with you. When they are dropping over like that, drop em in the jar. After a few weeks you’ll have an awesome tincture that is an intense pain killer. Nature wins

These grow here (though we still call em Indian pipes). I remember hearing they taste like asparagus, but I found them much less flavourful. Did you harvest them?
