Notes: found growing on dead california live oak log. Heavy dense firm. no stalk. resembles large oyster mushroom except for having tubes instead of gills
this species is very dense and heavy has no stalk and is attached to oak. Good guess it does look similar. I took it to the San Diego Mycoliogical Society Fungis Fair with me yesterday and Elio Schaechter suggested it was a polyporus but I have not been able to find one that is a match
