Default Growing Monotropa uniflora - indian pipe in a closed terrarium system.

One of my neighbors threw out a cracked 10 gallon glass aquarium the
other day. It doesn't hold water, but I figured to try a temperate
decidious forest floor ecotone tank. Maybe have some limited mosses
and a muchroom and then maybe a larger herbaceous plant providing a
"canopy" of sorts.

Although I presume I can propogate mushrooms and mosses relatively
simply, I have always found the little clumps of indian pipe
interesting, and was wondering if these could possibly be incorporated
into the system.

Does anyone have either any experience with this plant or know of any
sources from which to read? There doesn't seem to be much scholarly
publication on this plant, at least that I could immediately find.

Sorry for cross-posting this, but I figured that the readership would
be different between the groups and that the topic applies equally to
the scope of both groups, and therefore a cross-posting would be
justified. If otherwise, I'm sorry.

PS: I'm using the google groupes feature to post this, so I don't
exactly know how it will turn out.
