Is this the one where they talk about trees communicating and sharing resources through mycelium? So amazing!

I’ll never look at trees again in the same way. Here is the sequel to it:

Don't mind me but I believe /u/EastDragonfly1917 & /u/_n3ll_ would both enjoy [The Hidden Life of Trees by Peter Wohlleben](https://www.audible.com/pd/The-Hidden-Life-of-Trees-Audiobook/B01KMNFUIQ?action_code=ASSGB149080119000H&share_location=pdp).
“Indian” in the Americas is a misnomer. There are no Indians of any kind here. Indians are in India. Just because the asshole Columbus called the native people here Indian doesn’t make it so.
- Algonquin Shawnee Native American
pretty sure 'American Indian' is a perfectly acceptable term and preferred by some.
Either way, i lean towards the idea that the taxonomic name IS the "actual name," as many common names can refer to multiple unrelated species. Or sometimes a common name will refer to an entire genus.
Indian is a misnomer..
but do you know that ‘American’ is also a misnomer coined by that asshole Columbus as well in dedication to Amerigo Vespucci?
Why don’t you find offense in that term, coined by the same individual?
Both American Indian and Native American are harmless misnomers.
Unlike calling someone a redskin, that IS derogatory.
The person replying to me used the term the “actual” name. I was simply stating the Indian Pipe is not the preferred common name rather it is Ghost Pipe.
It’s an antihistamine it prevents your body from reacting to the oil. Ive held poison ivy and then immediately applied jewelweed and had zero reaction.
U/Nowrongbean is correct, you are either lucky, an exception, or you have not worn through your natural resistance to the oils. It’s a form of contact dermatitis, so antihistamines don’t really do anything towards prevention.
I’ve had some bad reactions in my past I I just want people to be fully informed about it…. Bad reactions can become systemic and basically travel through your blood to *anywhere* on your body.
Ghostpipe, not a mushroom. It's a parasitic flower that doesn't have chlorophyll since it taps into a fungal network that ultimately draws from a tree's root system.
Not actually eating the fungi, it grows where mycelium and tree roots are happily exchanging nutrients back and forth, and then steals those nutrients without chipping back in.
I didn't know they were rare - they are abundant on Michigan's Upper Peninsula but now that you mention it I've never seen them anywhere else. Very cool plant!
I’m in MA and they’re incredibly common but there are some regions where they’re critically endangered. That’s why location is so important for plant IDs, figuring out what’s invasive, etc
They were used by native Americans for many medical uses, including as an anti-inflammatory and pain killer. There's videos that can be found on YouTube on its preparation and use.
No! They're a sign of a healthy fungal network in your yard. Even though they are parasitic, they won't damage your trees. They're a unique native, and the flowers are short-lived.
Indian Pipes, we usually don’t see them until August. They are plants without chlorophyll.
Monotropa uniflora. Sign of healthy tree root-fungi-plant mutualism.
Which is also why propogagating, transplanting or raising them from seed is impossible in my shade garden 😭

Nice! Haven't listened to this one. Thanks for sharing!
Listen to WNYC on weekends. They have a ton of interesting things.

chlorophyll? more like Bore-a-fill!
No I will not make out with you!
STOP LOOKING AT ME SWAN!!!
Exactly where my head went hahaha
The more acceptable term is ghost pipe
Noted
That’s derogatory towards the dead. /s If we are gonna use the actual name: Monotropa uniflora
The Latin scientific name is not the “actual” name and neither is Indian Pipe. I said the more acceptable term is ghost pipe.
Ghost pipe isn’t the “actual name” either. Indian pipe or ghost pipe are both equally acceptable. -Athabaskan Native American.

As an American with red skin, I take umbrage at your derogation of my skin color.
You got a huge laugh out of me 😂 Also thanks for teaching me a new word, had to look up “Umbrage”
Remember Delores Umbrage from Harry Potter? That wasn’t an accident.
Not sure what you mean by actual name, then. Latin nomenclature is always the most accurate, although always subject to change.

Watch out for that poison ivy!
Great. Now I'm itchy just looking at it.
Learn Jewel Weed and poison ivy ain’t no thing to be worried about. You can even pre-apply it if you are going into a poison ivy heavy area.
Jewel weed is good for the itch but not for prevention. It won’t remove the oils from poison ivy.

You are an exception, this isn’t the case for 90%
The natural world is so freaking amazing.
truly
You “ain’t seen (heard) nuttin’ yet til you’ve heard this👇 https://radiolab.org/podcast/from-tree-to-shining-tree
Ghost pipe! That's so cool!
Thank you for the name.
Indian ghostpipes.
Lucky!
Lol first thing I noticed here was all the poison ivy around, hot damn! Anyways, so beautiful, have always wanted to see some here around my home!
Vampire plants!
wow, it's my first time seeing this type of plant. Truly amazing.
Getting a tattoo of these this month! So excited!
Wow that is very cool! I recently saw wild asparagus in the woods.
I used to see these a lot while walking through the woods last summer. Always wondered what they were.
I found some growing in my yard last year. I thought some alien species moved in.
Where is this?
Along the Nashua River outside Nashua, NH
Its odd when ghost pipe decides to show up. August in SW WV, June in NC
Wow, NH. That *is* early.
Ghostpipe! Nice find!
I came across some of these on my first hike in eastern Canada. I thought they were so cool.
I've seen wild asparagus a couple times when I was hiking in CT and MA, pretty cool
Some kind of mushroom?
Ghostpipe, not a mushroom. It's a parasitic flower that doesn't have chlorophyll since it taps into a fungal network that ultimately draws from a tree's root system.
Whoa. Pretty cool.
It’s a member of the blueberry family that decided it was better to eat fungi instead of working with them!
Not actually eating the fungi, it grows where mycelium and tree roots are happily exchanging nutrients back and forth, and then steals those nutrients without chipping back in.
Well.. not until it's dead anyway.
Nature is amazing!
Indian Ghost pipes, a very rare and cool find! Apparently they can be made into a anti inflammatory medicine
I didn't know they were rare - they are abundant on Michigan's Upper Peninsula but now that you mention it I've never seen them anywhere else. Very cool plant!
Grew up in the LP, we had these also, but they weren’t abundant.
Everyone says they are rare but they are all over the place in my region.
I’m in MA and they’re incredibly common but there are some regions where they’re critically endangered. That’s why location is so important for plant IDs, figuring out what’s invasive, etc
what are these good for/do? I've seen them around my property a bit and didnt know what they were until now
They were used by native Americans for many medical uses, including as an anti-inflammatory and pain killer. There's videos that can be found on YouTube on its preparation and use.
I saw a video that described their pain killing attributes as stronger than morphine. Which is pretty fuckin wild if true.
I think it contains salicylic acid, so basically aspirin.
They’re becoming threatened. Just enjoy them with your eyeballs and leave them alone.
It's pretty cool is what it does. Also its only visible above ground parts are flowers, so it's gonna be good for pollinators too.
Indian pipe. You can make a tincture from it.

No! They are AMAZING and if you’re at all witchy, they’re a fantastic aspirin.
Okay! Thanks for the Kind info.
These have medicinal properties if prepared correctly. I've had them in a tincture before.
surprised you didn’t ask how to kill it since it’s not a red tomato
