hard to tell if any of the perithecia belong to it or are just incidental other things

seems that the tissue affected is more resistant to weathering than the surroundings and stays behind in lumps?

Tulostoma fimbriatumObserver
n_russellDescription
in small unvegetated pockets of the dunes... mostly native grasses, some others, sparse oak, pine, poplar.
Not too sure whether this keys to fibrillosum or campestre in Smith's key for Michigan, but if they're both fimbriatum here then it's just as well.
Very indistinct peristome in the freshest ones, not unopened. Stem has the sort of snakeskin pattern with the outer orangey layer cracking transversely and wearing away leaving it paler and longitudinally fibrillose striate. Spores are decently irregular...

The book would suggest S. intermedia because the spores are between 40 and 60 microns, excluding exospores. However hmmm I see there are many more spp than the 4 it has
Thanks to Simona for help with the micro and the book again
edit: stumbled upon a couple more comprehensive keys, have more confidence now. spores often more than 50 long and easily fragmenting at 3 septa, rounded ends
