Allotropa virgata

I found these on the coast north of San Francisco a couple of weeks ago. I thought it was an orchid of some kind but it is not.

Its common name is Sugar Stick, probably for obvious reasons. It apparently grows exclusively on Matsutake mycelium, so I know where to go this winter!
