Is that the spent flower and the fruiting body?

Yep, the stem will elongate and the fruit will then dry out and release the tiny seeds.

@TobiasHayashi should we be using Corybas or Corysanthes? Is there a distinction between the two?

Oh yeah oops I think we're going with Corysanthes on CNM. They are the same thing, Corysanthes was split from Corybas but I think many herbaria still stick with Corybas for all of them.
