Mushroom for Dinner? Help me ID this Beast Please!

Hey can you guys help me identifying this big mushroom?
I was looking at my uncles orchid garden and this pretty big mushroom was growing from the log that the vases were on top of.
I searched google for a while trying to find out if it is edible but came up with nothing.
If anyone has every seen one of these please let me know what it is.
Hopefully I'll be eating it soon 
Thanks in advance!

The way that it's grown between the pots is really cool. Wonder what it is.

I don't think it's a Bolete. I think it's a polypore. Could be wrong. Hope someone can help more.

Could perhaps be Royoporus (Polyporus) badius.

WOW! That it's awesome how the cap formed into the. Space available between those pots! It is a polypore, which are not my forte. I do know of any that are poisonous, but very few are edible, do to the tough, wood-like texture of the flesh. The few that are commonly ingested are used for medicinal, rather than nutritional qualities.

Do you know if its spores are white?
The only thing I see that looks different is the stalk.

According to mushroom expert, it has white spores.
Although, spore colour is not a good feature for identifying a mushroom, with nothing else. No single characteristic is. All mushroom characteristics give you is a way of ruling out other things that it might be, and helping you decide that it might be what you think -- if you have enough characteristics, i.e. much more than just the one, then you get a more confident ID. The more things that match a certain species, the more you can be sure that it's the one you have.
If a certain set of characteristics are unique to a mushroom and your specimen matches these, then you can be very confident.

Like you guys said, most polypore aren't edible so it might not be worth trying.
Thanks for all the help!
Glad the pictures caught some attention.
