This summer was so wet that the mushrooms and other fungus were coming up faster than ever. My neighbor told me the name of this one.

Isn’t Indian pipe actually a plant, not a fungus?
Yes, it is a plant that cannot make chlorophyll and so therefore cannot photosynthesize. It has a parasitic relationship with fungi.
