The inflorescence just had that look about it.

I really don't know the difference between saprophytic & epiparasitic. I have
this feeling I've heard somewhere that a saprophytic relationship is mutually
beneficial to the orchid & the fungus; whereas epiparasitic involves the orchid
parasitising the fungus it relies on for nutrition, to the detriment of the
fungus. Can anyone comment?

One reference says its saprophytic while another says epiparasitic, though
it doesn't mention the parasite it might be parasitizing.

Would that be saprophytic, Reiner?
