Identification: Big Mushroom ID

Can anyone identify this mushroom? It is 24" in diameter and growing in the edge of our yard. I am in Tennessee.

 

Meripilus giganteus comes to mind.

 

Thanks ever so much. I searched your answer and was directed to the meripilus sumstinei mushroom which grows in North America. The other one is European.

 

thanks for the follow up - looks like we both learned something new today.

 

No, I really thank you. I am 65yrs old and have never seen anything like that mushroom. And I am out and about all the time in woods and fields.

 

out and about all the time in the woods? post more pics of cool fungi for us!

 

Sure will. Thanks
