Beautiful Fungi?

Found these growing in moderate shade on the side of a bank. I would like to know what they are, besides beautiful. Any help would be greatly appreciated. :-)
Thanks

 

Monotropa uniflora.

A flowering plant, not a fungus! Good find - it is rare.

 

One of ~ 800 plants without chlorophyll. They are also good indicators of certain fungi in some parts of the country.

 

Is this the plant (or one of the plants) called Dutchman's pipes?

 

This one is usually called Indian pipe. M. hypopitys is sometimes called Dutchman's pipe, also Aristolochia species. An example of where common names can be misleading.

 

called Indian pipe,,yes we find them from time to time here in Asheville nc in the woods...from what im told they are kinda rare

 

It was once thought to be a root parasite of trees, but that was wrong. It is a parasite of the fungus that grows on the roots of those trees. THeyy're pretty common here in the Pacific Northwest.
