It is not a mushroom. It is a close relative of it.
It is a bracket fungus.

Ganoderma applanatum -- why is it called the artist's conk? When you scratch the white pores of the fruiting body, the white rubs away and exposes the brown hyphae underneath. A skilled artist can make some really incredible pictures. See link below.
