Resupinate fungi --consisting entirely of a pore surface that spreads across the substrate-- can be difficult to ID to species. I think a good place to start with the one seen here is genus Perenniporia. Two possibilities appear to be P. podocarp and P. ohiensis.

Although, my response is based upon the ONE photo seen above. Is this the one mentioned as "under a dissection microscope"? If so, it would be useful to also see the fungus as it appears to the naked eye.

I think maybe you finalized the original post before the photos had loaded. 

I still think Perenniporia is a good possibility. But, looking again at Mushroom Expert, P. ohiensis forms very small fruit bodies. So, this species should probably be eliminated from consideration.
