General Ecology: On the shores of Little Toms Cove, Assateague Island in Chincoteague National Wildlife Refuge. Sand dunes with grasses and other herbaceous plants growing.
Ecology and associated species: Growing in clusters around the bases of Panicum amarum and Sporobolus pumilus. Seems to be saprotrophic in nature, growing off of dead plant material.
Pileus 0.5-4 cm in diameter, tan to beige with slight tones of pink, sulcate, dome-shaped when young, becoming flat and wavy in age. Lamellae 1.0-2.7 cm in length beige to pinkish, broadly attached to stipe, close in arrangement. Stipe light tan near apex, becoming more brown near base. Mostly equal.
Taste and smell indistinct
Basidiospores white, ellipsoid to ovoid in shape with internal granules.

pulkDescription
(The two frbs with solo photos are separated as #JK002; the rest are mixed)
Many frbs widely separated along the edge of the bog. All in sphagnum, some near mountain-laurel, rhododendron, maple, pine, sassafras, and/or spruce.
Some were called Bogbodia uda (on the left in the first photos) and others were called Hypholoma elongatum (on the right in the first photos), but it seems to me that there were intermediates. One frb (last photos) had distinct white tufts attached to the stem.

Grey Bolete (Retiboletus griseus)Observer
johnplischkeDescription
Very close (995+) to a number of Boletales sp. sequences from the East Coast. 97%+ close a couple of Retiboletus sp. sequences. Only 87% similar to some Retiboletus ornatipes sequences. This could well be an undescribed species in Retiboletus. Now Retiboletus griseus I need to relabel my image

UPDATE 7/2/2021 - now looks more like G applanatum
Specimens of this species sporulated at the bases of two adjacent living and vibrant white oaks in my back yard several years ago. This specimen was at the base of majestic oak (deep in the woods) that has been long dead and decomposing.
KUO:<<. Most recently, a sweeping study of the polypores by Justo and collaborators (2017) places Laetiporus, Wolfiporia, and Phaeolus together in a family called the Laetiporaceae, but the authors caution that "[t]he delimitation of Laetiporus vs. Wolfiporia needs further study.">>
