Certainly laxiflora-type, but rather robust growing in sandy, dry pine/oak uplands, though relatively close to a vernal pond so groundwater is likely not far away.
Measurements upon returning suggestive of striatula, but will require additional information:
Perigynia = ±4.5 mm
Achenes = 3+ mm
Terminal spike = 26 mm
Max leaf width = ±11-12 mm

Probably feeding the nestlings. The Cracked-Cap polypore provides a nice awning over the nest entrance.
Here is another observation of a different cavity under a Cracked Cap Polypore, not far from this one:
