HELP: oyster mushroom lookalike with smooth underside?

Recommended Posts

What kind of mushroom is this?! Have googled extensively with no answers. It was found on a dead log near a stream of water. 

Many photos below- there was a main cluster of them in a rosette shape and some individuals. Please note no gills- undersides and sides appear to be smooth. No stem on any of them. Inside flesh is pure white. Smell is not distinct but my sense of smell is trash. Please help and much thanks!

My best guess for this is Picipes melanopus, an uncommon species in my experience.  https://mushroomobserver.org/observer/show_observation/414233     https://mushroomobserver.org/379570?q=1nDDb   . Formerly placed in genus Polyporus.

Also, compare with Bresadolia craterells (formerly Polyporus craterellus).  https://www.messiah.edu/Oakes/fungi_on_wood/poroid fungi/species pages/Bresadolia craterella.htm     But, I like the first suggestion better, based upon what appear to be very small pores and cap surface lacking prominent scales.
