Update: Thanks to @bbenz and @[email protected] for correcting the ID! This is actually “Pinesap” [Monotropa hypopitys]. Not as uncommon as I thought but still my first time finding. 😀

For as often as I tromp around in the woods I have never found Ghost Pipes THIS color. From what I see online, it’s a rare variant of the usually whitish/pinkish Monotropa uniflora.

One of my favorite discoveries this summer!
