            100%! We thought these plants were extinct because of people and our destructive ways, but it turns out, they weren’t at all gone!

              I find it pretty fascinating how fair lantern plants don't make their own food through photosynthesis like all other plant life on Earth! I have never heard of a plant that steals energy from fungi that grow around their roots! I guess everyday you do learn something new!
