ID for gilled polypore (Alaska)

I apologize in advance for the faraway orientation of the first photo.  This polypore started driving me nuts when I went back through some photos from a foraging session a week ago.  At a glance from yards away I'd seen a cluster of zonate polypores with a white margin (woohoo!) but was mystified upon closer inspection; especially when I saw the wavy/zigzagging gills.  :strokebeard:  Never seen lamellae oriented this way before.  I didn't take a specimen or print but also didn't think it would be driving me batshit at midnight a week later.  Hoping these gill features are a dead giveaway for someone here.  Found on decaying birch.  Thanks in advance,  and my apologies for the incomplete info.  :hatsoff:
Seen some trametes betulina with SLIGHTLY wavy gills before but were thicker, firmer fleshed,  always lighter in color...  Looked quite different.  Environmental or regional variety?  Derp. :shrug::bongload:

I'm trying hard to id this, but not finding anything concrete. I'm thinking that it's either a shrunken down  polypore, and that is causing the pores or gills to appear wavy..OR it's actually a type of lichen, which Im leaning more towards.
I'm sorry I can't be of more help, but you should also be sorry for presenting this mystery that kept me up an extra 2 hours!
Cheers!

Looks like Trametes betulina.

Lol thanks for staying up and capitulating sweetsara! :toast: HSapiens: I am really starting to think this is the case as well but it's a weird morphology.  I found other specimens nearby that had the same waviness to their lamellae and am guessing it's a regional variety of t. betulina because nothing else fits the bill.  Tempted to go back for a collection to clone to cardboard/dowels...

Yeah, Trametes growth patterns can be odd where you’ll have nice brackets that spread out fan-like and within the same species have a growth pattern that seems bunched and all packed together. Of course, some species it is a normal growth pattern to be more clustered.
I can’t say for sure, but I’m guessing it’s due to the size and softness of the area the fruit is trying to fruit from. Tighter, harder opening might lead to a more clustered fruiting. Nice soft broad opening might lead to more of a broad spread.

Could be opposite of that though.

We missed it by a mile.  It's Plicaturopsis crispa apparently.  🤦‍♂️🤷‍♂️

Interesting. Definitely what it is. That’s a new one to me.

I read some weird excerpt about their edibility.  The first reference I'd found was about their being consumed by people in Malaysia,  and the second was that they can cause infection in people who are immunocompromised: with a recorded instance of actual fruiting bodies forming in the soft palate of a child who'd consumed them!  I was like :whattefuck2:

I've heard those stories about Schizophyllum commune. Although Plicaturopsis is fairly widely distributed, I don't recall any stories such as those about them. I'd be interested in any links you could provide.

Happy mushrooming!

A user here posted a picture of split gill which he thought was a B+ mutation.  I admit, Schizophyllum commune is a very interesting fungi.

It was schizophyllum commune.  They were just mentioned in the same article and my thinking cap was on crooked.  Looking back I have no idea how I read it that way but the article was a little scattered. My bad. :facepalm:  Still crazy.
