Sherry, those are indeed Erythronium. Unmistakenly spotted and colored leaves.
They look too much like my E. dens-canis but I live in Romania, so you'd probably have something similar.
I don't see roots. Must be something else's roots. These have small long-ish bulbs that go deep under. And it's not a guy. At least three guys. I don't think they multiply underground, from bulbs (like lily-of-the-valley unfortunately DO).
