My recollection was that it was not dark, but I was negligent in not photographing the undersisde. If they emerge again, I won't repeat that mistake.

What is the underside like? Any pictures?
Scott Frazier
Thanks gully.moy for the suggestion L. polychrous. It seems to have a very similar upper side texture if not under side gill color. I'll keep looking...
Scott Frazier
Thanks Phillip for your suggestion. It certainly does resemble the one in my spotting, however "mine" is much smoother/less coarse/not at all "hairy". But I'll continue looking at the genus!
gully.moy
Perhaps a Lentinus species. L. polychrous maybe?
