Wow those looks so cool! Almost like a distant relative of white roses.

They are not photosynthesizing plants, they are parasites of fungi! Pretty cool looking in person, almost translucent. One of my hikes this year had a bunch of clumps of these on the trail.

Of course. I was just commenting on its similar appearance :)

They are still flowers though. It's probably not entirely wrong to think of them as related to other flowers, I didn't know anything about them until I took the picture.
