Strobilomyces sp.
Interesting mushroom with a shaggy looking cap. Dark purplish-gray, irregular surface with pale coloration between. Pored underside. Mottled purplish-gray on stem. Growing from the root side of a fallen tree. I kept the fourth picture, though out of focus, because of the habitat area and you can see a bit more of the area from where the mushroom originated.
Temperate forest. Nolin Lake State Park, Kentucky.
Thank you RandyL for the ID help!
Thank you RandyL. That looks like the correct genus to me as well! Updated appropriately. :-)
