No pictures in-situ, was collecting Boletes for food, trimming stems in the field. Inrolled margin caught my eye. Realized later this is one of the rare southeast fungi.
This specimen was thick and burnt orange, growing out of a tree root buried just underneath the mud. The pileus is burnt orange with white around the edges only, the pileus is kidney shaped and about 3 inches long 2 inches wide. Almost an inch thick. The gills are white and polypore, the pores are extremely tiny. I cut the specimen in half to reveal some dark purple. The gills turned grey with maybe a hint of blue after damaged.
Silvery white, growing near the base of a tree
