My partner makes the best stock in the world. Making soup based on her stock is what I imagine it must be like to race in a Ferrari or Koenigsegg - the driver matters but really it’s the car.

So I found this big tree mushroom in the forest:
And at first I thought it was Reishi mushroom, because the coloring and the reflection of light is very similar:
but then I saw this:
And that is also very similar! That second one is Ischnoderma resinosum, or resinous polypore.
I'm not sure how to tell which one is it, or if it's a mysterious third thing, can anyone here give me clues to how I could tell for sure? The flesh on my mushroom looks like this, and it's a little tough, but not super tough, like I could easily cut it with a knife if I wanted to:
This thing is massive and I'm wondering if I could eat it, it smells absolutely amazing, like a delicious tree mushroom.

Woke up to sun after two days of rain so of course I got my butt out to the woods before work, and I found out that the woods near our new place are full of hen-of-the-woods (Grifola frondosa)! The first one I found looked animal-eaten and old, the second one I collected, and the third looked like it had been harvested by a fellow forager.
I also found some resinous polypore Ischnoderma resinosum, which is nothing new, but this was the first time I saw its titular drops of resin! Also, the little whorled mushrooms are Panellus stipticus, which is bioluminescent!!! I'm trying to learn the Latin names even though it's really hard.
I ID'd a few of these on-site with my field guide, brought a few others to work along with some mushroom books to ID them during my downtime, and left that last one in place without ID'ing because it was just too perfect where it was. All mushroom names (and some extra details) are in the image descriptions.

A very nice resinous polypore. Supposedly it smells like anise but I’ve never noticed. I found this leaky fungus at Rockwoods Reservation in 2014. Ischnoderma resinosum

remember kids, edible wild foraged mushrooms should be sampled in small doses at first and then you should wait 48 hours before eating any more because even edible mushrooms can cause tummy troubles!
don't do what i did and assume that because you've never had issues with a mushroom before, you can eat whatever the hell mushroom you want with no consequences!
it only took me eight hours of stomach cramps to remember that!

A lookalike to the reishi, this flush of Ischnoderma resinosum, or resinous polypore, is very similar in pattern, shape, and color to a flush of Ganoderma sessile. The resinous polypore is much more flexible and tender than a reishi, has a velvety texture on the cap, and tends to be guttating droplets on its edge or top. It also tends more towards the brown end of the red spectrum, where true reishi favor a more vibrant spectrum of white to yellow-red through to a more vibrant purple-red base. These are also known to be foraged and eaten when early in their fruiting cycle.

Trying to ID this fungi. It is rubbery and pliable. At first I thought it might be a Ischnoderma resinosum but now I'm not sure. Any thoughts? https://www.instagram.com/p/B5IbI00nWGC/?igshid=1g8hoxuyios3v

A Short Mushroom Post

An unknown lookalike of reishi. I’d hedge my money on Ischnoderma resinosum, resinous polypore. The finely velveted cap and browner colors are immediately distinguishing factors, but more intimate analysis would be needed to confirm speciation.

Young Ischnoderma resinosum, a lookalike of reishi distinguishable primarily by a matte velvet fuzz present on the bracket.
