Our naturalists showed us the fine details of everything from banana slugs to Western white pine. One of the most interesting organisms was the Indian pipe plant, a member of the wintergreen family. This plant is unable to photosynthesize, because it has no chlorophyll. Instead the plant has an intimate relationship with fungus and a coniferous tree. The fungus provides a connection between the Indian pipe and the tree. The conifer actually provides the nutrients to the Indian pipe. Without either of the others the Indian pipe could not survive.
