Yikes - it looks like a sea anemone.

I was going to say tribble too, but perhaps an Idaho hedgehog? My nephew is working on his doctorate at U.W and is studying mushrooms I sent him the link maybe he'll know.

From some of my facebook friends, I posted the photo it was so cool:
1. Kooshballa onrockii?
2. Kooshballia anemonensis?
3. Cotton-base coral (I'm looking at my Audobon guide)?
My 'guess' it could be a coral finger. Just like the name suggests, the coral mushrooms typically look like coral, although some might be better described as club-shaped or finger-like, they come in quite a few shapes and colors. Clavariaceae: The Coral Mushroom Family
Check out the Western Montana Mycological Association website (www.fungaljungal.org). They have a lot of good mushroom identification resources, and if you are still not sure they will ID it for you.
