WTH - I found this in my mulberry roots while planting in ground.

Seemed firmly attached to the roots but as soon as it touched soil it disappeared and got lost in the rubble.

Any thoughts? Is this a parasite?

Looks like a mushroom that hadn't broken the soil surface yet.
Did it actually move?

Not when I touched it. But it seems like it fell off between taking the picture and putting the phone down and I didnt want to go digging in the soil. 

At first I thought it was a massive Japanese beetle grub 🤮

I believe it is a baby graboid or dirt dragon.   :P
