@gertenbert You are quite welcome. They can grow alone, especially in thick evergreen needles under a heavy canopy. Mostly you will find them in small clusters though. But a community can be spread out over several yards and at first appear to be singular plants. Good luck with your assignment!
Awesome video, very informative. You don't find a lot of information about these plants - any idea if there are any websites/books available that provide detailed information about them? I'm studying them as part of a plant biology assignment for college and I'm struggling to find any in-depth information.
@cagedsexybeast I have to say that I have not looked into sources for this plant. What I know about it is what I was taught by my Teacher many years back. I'm sure if you Google it you can probably find something worthy. Good luck!
Very informative thank you. I want to take one to study. There's one near my campsite at boy scout camp that is going to get trampled if I don't relocate it. So I'm assuming the best way is to dig it up and place it under a white pine eastern hemlock or beech tree?
@SconnerStudios- actually since their root system is small, their feeding site is also small. If they are living off a fungus root then you would need to reloctae that as well. If they are living off the root system of the trees it becomes a bit trickier. They are a very delicate wildflower and can be quite touchy to relocate- like many wildflowers. But yes you would want to aim for the evergreens or a high ground fungus concentration to relocate it to.
Thanks for the info! I have a assignment for school on this plant, and this has a lot of info. By the way, do they always grow in groups or bunches?

I found this stuff all over along a trail in Black Hills Regional Park at Little Senica Lake in Montgomery County Maryland.
