Great find- Cerement's ID is on the dot. They're delightfully bizarre to stumble upon for the first time, aren't they?
Loads of oddball relatives out there as well. I haven't seen this one due to the range being restricted to the west coast (US), but it's completely absurd (Allotropa virgata).

Seems to be a Monotropa. Common names include: Ghost Plants, Indian Pipe, Corpse Plants. It is vascular.
mossy_capivara in plantid
Found something in Duxbury, MA
I think it's a vascular plant but I don't want to jump to conclusions
Monotropa uniflora
Thank you kindly
It reminds me of new born horse feet…

Google says ghost plant, but I'm not sure.
Ghost pipes. I used to think they were a fungus.
