I went out looking for any unusual mushroom I could find, and I found this
I had never seen anything like it. It looks like a plant but is stiff, thick, pure white and has no root structure, so I assumed it was a mushroom
But it's weirder than that - it's a parasitic plant that lives on mycorrhizal russula mycelium called a Ghost Pipe. I found it amongst pine litter and a dense cluster of maple seedlings in southern Wisconsin
