Yesterday, I found Hydnellum spongiosipes, one of the Hydnaceae associated with Quercus robur or Q. rubra and sometimes with Fagus, Castanea or Betula on poor sandy soils, a species that has become rare because of nitrification. The close up (20 x) of the spines - with sand grains op top - was made with my digital microscope.
