There is a key to over 50 species here: http://mycoportal.org/.... Need microscopy to get to species in many cases I think. See also: Kuo, M. (2011, January). Tulostoma lloydii. Retrieved from the MushroomExpert.Com Web site: http://www.mushroomexpert.com/tulostoma_lloydii.html for a description of one of the eastern species.

The sandy habitat and the lacerate mouth. In those I’ve collected the endoperidium is always well pitted by the grains of sand. I wish the entire plant had been excavated. They are often very deeply rooted. In cretaceum there are rather impressive rhizomorphs attached to a volval-like structure (unless that has rotted away). If you find more please post.
