May be a mycoheterotrophic plant (Hemitomes congestum perhaps?) OR a fungi from the Calastoma species which has not been observed in Oregon...thanks RandyL for the help!

Yes that seems promising.
Great thoughts! Hemitomes Congestum perhaps?
I'm not sure any Calostoma species have ever been recorded in Oregon, if this is one it is a very cool find!
Weird one. Maybe a Calostoma species? I think the only other possibility would be some kind of mycoheterotrophic plant.
