Does anyone here collect horror antholigies? Searching for a story about plants.

It's been ages since I've read "Who Goes There." I believe it is a shape-shifter and can possess bodies, but it's not explicitly a plant or humanoid as I recall.

The original film hits the basic plot and provides a "monster-of-the-week" which I find fun. The Carpenter version is closer to the original story. I didn't see the 2011 film; it seems to me to be tailor-made for CGI.

Good suggestions, folks. I still haven't been able to track down the story about which I initially posted.

my first thought was that dr. terror story. there is a tree stump that kind of comes alive in Tales that Witness Madness. and there's is truly a huge amount of standalone killer plant movies. here's a weird one... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jQUJjpiHBmg

Swamp Thing and Man-Thing were based on The Heap, which in turn was based on the prose story "It" by Theodore Sturgeon. Which in turn got adapted into a Marvel comic.
