Summary

[edit]
Description
English: This photo was taken in Merlin, OR and depicts a snow plant (Sarcodes saguinea). Sarcodes = flesh-like; sanguinea = blood. The snow plant is a mycotrophic wildflower of the heath family (Ericaceae). “Myco” means fungus, and “trophic” means nutrition, meaning they are fungus feeders. These plants get their organic carbon from a host green plant by tapping into an intermediary mycorrhizal fungus attached to the roots of the host plant. These wildflowers have no chlorophyll and spend most of their lives underground, only poking their heads up through the soil to flower and set seed. They are most often found under thick layers of leaf litter in deep-shaded forest floors. This photo was submitted for the May 2023, employee photo contest: flowers and pollinators.
