The four of us had coffee together and discussed the
"Mystery Coralroot". Now the discussion is between Autumn
& Early Coralroot. J said she knew where some Early Coralroot was
growing and we went to see if it was still there. It wasn't. We had
samples of Spotted Coralroot - Corallorhiza maculata and Yellow
Coralroot - Corallorhiza ochrokuca and found it was neither of these.
If you can identify it (pictured
above), please let us know!
The fog was so bad it wasn't safe to drive so we went home.
The new sightings below are from around Mink Lake where the other
coralroots were and Artist's Point.
The
"Mystery" has now been solved... Two years later!
