This is such a little gem I had to post a picture of it, Ro and I ran across it while checking out botanical survey sites on Franklin Parker. Read about it in Boyd's " A Field Guide to the Pine Barrens of New Jersey" page 79. I'd never seen it in this stage before; it's very easy to overlook in the larger adjacent vegetation - the white portion is dime-size. Spores disperse from central hole.
