L. auricula does not show up on any fungi lists from North America that I am aware of. If this is that species, revisiting the site and collecting it would be great. Some collections of L. cochleatus look similar.

difficult to tell the Lentinellus species in this group apart (ursinus, castoreus, vulpinum and auricula/pilatii), when they are young in particular.
My impression on aging specimen, auricula stays pale quite a while but becomes yellowish brown on drying, vulpinum soon turns more brownish, develops a ribbed cap and often rusty spots, the others become darker reddish brown. But don’t take that for granted – I can be mistaken about them..
(if some collections of L. cochleatus look similar to this one, they are probably misidentified :-)
