stevendaniel's Identifications

Under red oak near pet cemetery.
This is the same species I am sure as that my recent observation https://www.inaturalist.org/observations/182251502, but that one had no blooms.
This type is all over the place now in light shade. I would say it's colonial.

The main stem is almost woody. Not hairy.

I called it S. racemosum. then retracted. Wiki says racemosum is also known as smooth white oldfield aster and small white aster. My outdated (1977) wildflower book does not have a racemosum species, but has two other species, one of which might correspond
Aster ericoides
Aster vimineus

https://www.missouribotanicalgarden.org/PlantFinder/PlantFinderDetails.aspx?kempercode=j480 shows S. ericoides,
"heath aster," which looks a lot like this

On 9/9 added more pix taken inside. A leaf from the main stem is 13 by 2 cm, but leaves on subsidiary stems (are those "racemes" ?) are much smaller, alternate.

The small white mystery aster that I have posted earlier as Symphyotrichum https://www.inaturalist.org/observations/182339587
This observation has photos of a full plant, of a small sub-branch and of a single flowers. Photos 3-6 are of a single flower. Photos 7 and 8 are of a different single flower. I hope that some in this superfluity of pix will be useful to the aster-ologers who are kindly helping toward a species.
