 Need help identifying stalked polypore

I came across these mushrooms in the panhandle of FL, growing in large clusters in pine needles amongst oak, pine, magnolia and maple trees. I believe it is a stalked polypore but cannot find positive id in Audubon. They were rather large- some as large as a hand with fingers spread wide. Extremely fragrant- sweet and spicy- reminescent of Sweetbread mushrooms in aroma. Underside had small pores, but closer to the stalk appeared "toothed." Larger mushrooms had very wavy caps.

Looks like an Albatrellus species to me. There are several white ones and I'm not sure how to separate them, but that's a good place to start 
Albatrellus ovinus and Albatrellus subrubescens are white but I don't know if Albatrellus ovinus is in FL

Albatrellus sounds good.
OP, maybe you could write a perl program to parse out the white Albatrellus species and display pics of them.
