these have been growing for a few weeks and look like asparagus, though I know they aren’t. The root isn’t very deep, and this soil is on top of a patch of busted up asphalt anyway. the stalks aren’t super robust. I pass these multiple times a day and I’ve never seen anything like it. thanks!

It looks like some kind of Coralroot orchid, Corallorhiza sp.
Oh wow. That’s super freaking cool. Native orchids are always a fun find. It certainly looks like a coral root to me anyway.
they look like pterospora andromedea, woodland pinedrops. but being in Alabama is rare. so maybe Japanese knotweed shoots that are sun deprived?
good call on the coralroot. do the have corms for roots?
