Albatrellus is likely the genus, however I can't find a species that 
matches comfortably enough for me to declare it. Albatrellus pes-caprae 
and A. elisii come close, although your picture has features so distinct 
that I would think it rather an easy to ID were it previously described. 
A better look at the underside, as well as the tree species it was most 
closely associated with.
