Resin Crystal Terrarium Candle Holder: Ghost pipe pods

It’s not often I’m stumped by a tidbit of nature in the Maine woods. But the first time I found a ghost pipe seed pod I was truly flummoxed. These lovely rounded pods are from pale, nearly translucent soft-bodied plants that look more like fungus. It’s hard to believe the two are the same plant, just in different times of the year. This resin crystal terrarium candle holder also features turkey tail mushroom, lichen, moss and liverwort.
