Unsure in this one. Polypore on a dead hemlock. Unusual to me. Dry and leathery. Possibly could also be Fomitopsis rosea

beabernardDescription
Found in grass by a ginko… by accidentally stepping on it ;_;
Smell not distinctive to me, but my partner said it “smells like a zoo”. Gills light pinkish-brown possibly due to age, didn’t get a picture but some similar ones growing close by had lighter cream color gills.
