Anyone know if they're poisonous? Asking for a friend.

Why does that snail look like its jumping on them in a platforming game?

Who's to say its not a platforming game for them...

I believe they are called Ghost Pipes

I thought these where ghost pipes:

Wow those looks so cool! Almost like a distant relative of white roses.

They are not photosynthesizing plants, they are parasites of fungi! Pretty cool looking in person, almost translucent. One of my hikes this year had a bunch of clumps of these on the trail.

Of course. I was just commenting on its similar appearance :)

They are still flowers though. It's probably not entirely wrong to think of them as related to other flowers, I didn't know anything about them until I took the picture.
