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.

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.">>
