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.

Google says ghost plant, but I'm not sure.

Ghost pipes. I used to think they were a fungus.
