On Tanoak, not conifer. Don't know what else it could be. There is a Ganoderma brownii on the other side of the stump.

bodhiflowerDescription
We found a wonderful hedgehog mushroom in the woods on our driveway last night, picked in moon and lamplight. Weighing 1lb 8oz, a stunning specimen, and roasted and filled with veggie-stuffing it was delicious and will feed us for the next few days!
Grateful to live here in Humboldt!
