Question Interesting Polypore for ID

Yet again I thought.. "this should be an easy ID", and of course it turned out to be more challenging than that.

The best match I get is Blackfoot Polypore - Polyporus leptocephalus but it does appear to be lacking the typical "Black Foot"

I have seen Polyporus tuberaster growing close by to this area, but I'm not convinced it's an immature specimen as the pore spacing is larger in Polyporus tuberaster


Size: 30mm
Smell: pleasant, mushroomy, "eat me"
Substrate: trunk of decaying dead tree, in mixed woodland
