It was along this hike that the group spotted a Woodland Pinedrops (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.fs.fed.us\/wildflowers\/plant-of-the-week\/pterospora_andromedea.shtml\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Pterospora andromedea Nutt.)<\/a>. Nobody in our group, including the guide, knew what the plant was. So, I &#8220;phoned a friend&#8221; to find out. Specifically, I texted my friend Tom who knew exactly what it was. Thanks!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For those of you who are not familiar with the plant, Pinedrops is a root parasite, that depends on its association with a fungus that is also associated with a pine tree. Pinedrops produces very little chlorophyll and is therefore not green in color and does not conduct photosynthesis.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><a href=\"https:\/\/tkahler.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/20220127-yellowstone-np-snowshoe-tour-016-edit-e1643927145867.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" data-attachment-id=\"18406\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/tkahler.com\/blog\/woodpland-pinedrops\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/tkahler.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/20220127-yellowstone-np-snowshoe-tour-016-edit-e1643927145867.jpg\" data-orig-size=\"1000,1500\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;8&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;Terry B.
