I am a plant with a unique reproductive strategy, often found in challenging environments. My leaves can be highly modified, and I have a symbiotic relationship with certain fungi. I'm known for my often striking, unusual appearance.

1. I am not a flowering plant in the traditional sense.
2. My 'seeds' are actually spores.
3. I often thrive in damp, shady places, or on other plants.
4. I contribute to the decomposition of organic matter.
