Indian Pipe Mushroom?

Not technically a mushroom I think, but could have fooled me.

Yes, but it’s a parasitic plant; not a mushroom ☺️

Oops! Almost missed your text there…!

also confirming it is a saprophytic plant (not a mushroom of a fungus).

Monotropa uniflora, in the blueberry family. It parasitizes a fungus that parasitizes a tree.
