A. virgata, yeah, candystick I know it as. (Aren't all those greenless ericads obligate mycoheterotrophs?) I read about the matsutake association too! How cool is that? (matsiman.com is interesting stuff)
I had never seen such big colonies of M. uniflora before. Usually just a singleton stalk or two.
