These are young “pinefoots” the smallest of mycotrophic plants of the sierras and cascades. They usually show up much later than s. sanguinea and look like white asparagus when young. Snow plants are bright pink to magenta when young with that distictive spiral/drillhead shape.

A grouping of sprouting snow plants, not fungus. I saw a few of these up there near the snow melt. I would think it was a mushroom hump, and pull aside the duff, there was a bunch of asparagus looking guys.

Very young specimens. It is either Pleuricospora fimbriolata or Sarcodes sanguinea

Looks like an achlorophyllus plant.
