Horsetails does appear to be the correct ID. I will keep my eyes on them and try to pin down the exact variant. Thanks

It is not a mushroom, but a very primitive plant made largely of silica, giving it a grit that led to its other common name, Scouring Rush.

This is the fertile stalk, which will not last the year. The vegetative stalk will appear soon.
