tobiashaysDescription
Under stone in litter, shallow slope under Quercus agrifola. An egg appears to be stuck near the flagellum.
Update: Dr. Monjaraz-Ruedas pointed out that the egg is too small for a schizomid, and is probably from a parasitoid.
Observation for the egg: https://www.inaturalist.org/observations/160617888

jhorthosDescription
See https://www.inaturalist.org/observations/218386975.
Compare with presumably bona fide Lomatium nudicaule a few feet away https://www.inaturalist.org/observations/219211540
Last photo shows several Lomatium nudicaule in foreground and this single plant in the background.
Taller, leaf larger and possibly thicker, stouter petiole, flower from leaf axil well above ground, secondary umbel upswept (possibly only from different floral stage) and with fewer flowers, slightly earlier flowering.
For convenience, a list of possible observations of this species in this general area (mostly based on appearing tall or robust, some are wild guesses):
