We describe graded commutative Gorenstein algebras ${\mathcal E}_n(p)$ over a field of characteristic $p$, and we conjecture that $\mathrm{Ext}^\bullet_{\mathsf{Ver}_{p^{n+1}}}(1,1)\cong{\mathcal E}_{n}(p)$, where $\mathsf{Ver}_{p^{n+1}}$ are the new symmetric tensor categories recently constructed in \cite{Benson/Etingof:2019a,Benson/Etingof/Ostrik,Coulembier}. We investigate the combinatorics of these algebras, and the relationship with Minc's partition function, as well as possible actions of the Steenrod operations on them. Evidence for the conjecture includes a large number of computations for small values of $n$. We also provide some theoretical evidence. Namely, we use a Koszul construction to identify a homogeneous system of parameters in ${\mathcal E}_n(p)$ with a homogeneous system of parameters in $\mathrm{Ext}^\bullet_{\mathsf{Ver}_{p^{n+1}}}(1,1)$. These parameters have degrees $2^i-1$ if $p=2$ and $2(p^i-1)$ if $p$ is odd, for $1\le i \le n$. This at least shows that $\mathrm{Ext}^\bullet_{\mathsf{Ver}_{p^{n+1}}}(1,1)$ is a finitely generated graded commutative algebra with the same Krull dimension as ${\mathcal E}_n(p)$. For $p=2$ we also show that $\mathrm{Ext}^\bullet_{\mathsf{Ver}_{2^{n+1}}}(1,1)$ has the expected rank $2^{n(n-1)/2}$ as a module over the subalgebra of parameters.
