2n=42 (Moss, 1983). There is no chlorophyll in this species so it is not green; nutrients are obtained from dead organic matter through a relationship with fungi that grow in coniferous stands (Johnson et al., 1995).…
2n=42 (Moss, 1983). There is no chlorophyll in this species so it is not green; nutrients are obtained from dead organic matter through a relationship with fungi that grow in coniferous stands (Johnson et al., 1995). No roots, rhizomes instead that give a coral-like appearance (Johnson et al., 1995). SW Native people used the stems for a blood tonic to treat pneumonia; roots were used in a tea to increase sweating and expel intestinal worms (Johnson et al., 1995).
