Polyporus ID Help please.

[Lancashire Lad]

Found today, growing on a fallen & well rotten trunk (Can't identify tree species).

There were several fully formed individual fruitbodies, (caps about 10cm across), all withing a space of about 60cm, along with some just emerging (as last photo).

Could it be Polyporus varius? - (I note that the stipes have a black base, but this is distinctly unlike any P.leptocephalus i've ever come across, so I'm thinking it's not that).




Regards,
Mike.
