Unknown plant just arrived this year in our garden and no one has ever seen it before. Any help in ID would be much appreciated. Boston, MA, USA

Saprophyte white fungus that fruits in ranges from tight clumps to solo individuals. Tall, thin stalks. Gills are close together and brown. The cap is very thin and evenly colored on both sides, white on top, brown on the bottom.
found outside of the human ecology building
The wasp appears to have two wings and six legs. Its body is mostly black with yellow stripes on the body. Its legs are colored brown and yellow. It also has two antennae and sizable mandibles. There are two brown-yellow patches, possibly sacs, on its upper abdomen. Its length is about two centimeters.
I’ve never seen this produce flowers before. As a child, I used to call it “wild carrots” and try to pick the complete root that looks like a skinny, white carrot.
