The bird's-nest orchid owes its name to its roots, which are intertwined like a bird's nest. This orchid feeds exclusively on the underground filaments of its fungal partner and is light-independent. It forms almost no chlorophyll and thus appears brownish. It grows mainly in shady deciduous and coniferous forests of the Gutland.
