Bondarzewia berkeleyi ?

Found growing from the base of a hardwood tree in Michigan. Thought at first to be Chicken of the Woods. Berkeley's polypore seems to be what I've found.
Description: Polypore with tube-like pores apparent towards the base of the stalk.

Ordor is strong, woodsy. Smelt a faint anise scent when I cut the base.My girls could smell the mushroom as soon as I brought it in the house!

Size: About 12 inches high, 6 inches across.

Color is beige to tan, darker in the center. Finger like growths noticed near the base. Whole fungus is moist and fleshy. Squeezed in the center will release moisture. Leaves an after taste, slightly bitter.

Spores: Not sure, probably white.

Disagree with my ID? Let me know please.

I think you IDed it right, Bondarzewia berkeleyi.
I found this specimen a few years ago. From what I have read, it is not a very good edible.
