what are these roots in my compost pile

I have two compost piles, one on either side of the house. I've found strange roots in both and the included photo shows some of them just after I turned the larger pile. That's why they look like they're sticking out, but I did that for the photo. They were all over/throughout this pile, a 3x4ft full of oak leaves and pine needles. I've picked many of them out, but I'm really curious to know what they might be and why they have an affinity for this pile. The temps never got above 90F in the summer, probably because it's just leaves and water and I don't turn it that often.

Any ideas?
