Notes: Found in the aptly named Big Sandy Creek Unit of the Big Thicket growing on buried wood and a sclerotium which can be seen in some of the photos. Most everything seems to match the descriptions if not the photos in the references. Lots of sand on the specimens which I should have brushed off more completely.
This species has undergone several name changes in a relatively short time….Lentinus siparius to Panus siparius to Lentinus tephroleucus.
