Although long-known under the name Polyporus squamosus the evidence seems to be quite strong that the species does not belong in Polyporus and should be recognised in Cerioporus.

Thank you so much for confirming the change . This was quite an amazing thing to see in the forest. There were several other smaller ones on the same tree. I love learning about new things in nature from Inaturalist and very smart people like you!

Identification
ID 2 of taxon E will be an unintended disagreement with ID 1 of taxon B after the taxon swap
If thinning a parent results in more than 10 unintended disagreements, you
should split the parent after swapping the child to replace existing IDs
of the parent (B) with IDs that don't disagree.
