Ryan; Parasitism
My wife and I go for a 6 mile walk nearly every day. This morning I spied these popping up throughout the woods along our walk. I spied this one at Latitude 42.38672 N / Longitude 71.58446 W. Another way to describe its location would be on Gates Pond Road, 150 yards north of its intersection with River Road E in Hudson, MA.
