Summary edit

Description

Corallorhiza mertensiana Coralroot

Mount Rainier National Park near lake Eleanor ~ 1650 meters (5000 foot elevation

Orchidaceae family

These are mycotrophic plants that obtain their organic carbon from a host green plant by tapping into an intermediary mycorrhizal fungus attached to the roots of the host plant.

Myco-heterotrophy is a symbiotic relationship between certain kinds of plants and fungi, in which the plant gets all or part of its food from parasitism upon fungi rather than from photosynthesis. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Myco-heterotrophy accessed 26 April 2010
