sooby said:There's a second stalk behind the "flower", did that end with another flower? I'd wondered if it was parasitic or hemi-parasitic, maybe even on Solomon's Seal but I've been through my wildflower field guide and Googled with seemingly appropriate keywords but came up empty handed. I too was thinking not a fungus because it looks to have some chlorophyll in the stem, not sure it does though. Hopefully someone will recognize it.

No other flower- I also checked mushroom book and think the two plant stems make it appear not to be a fungus - although plenty of rain lately...I do have a Jack-in-the-Pulpit under another solomon's seal nearby and the two just don't compare- it must be a broken something?..will post if it changes appearance
