Wow!!  Lots of responses split along 2 different lines.  Although more
people tended to think it was a terrestrial fern, than a Bolbitis.  So it
got a new home in a jar on the window sill tonight.  Hopefully I can get it
to grow a bit now.  I have to agree with James's comment about it almost
being "petrified".  I was trying to think of the right word to describe it
and that's almost perfect.  While I was moving it I took a couple more
pictures detailing the roots an leaves if anyone is interested.

Subject: [APD] what is this plant?


Now that I finally got my 2x36 bright kit set up tonight and can actually
see this plant properly, I'm curious to know what it is.  A friend gave it
to me about 6 months ago, but he didn't know what it was either.  So far, it
hasn't really died, but it hasn't grown any.  The roots are brown and very
hard, the same consistancy as the stem - almost like a tree branch without
any leaves.
I've done a lot of looking around but haven't found a picture of anything
that resembles it yet.  Right now it's about 2.5" tall with the roots being
about 1-1.5".
