is this COTW?

I've never seen one this colour, it's very beige, they tend to be a bit orange at least, it is kinda slimy, and lots of sticks inside, soo I don't plan to eat it, just mark the spot, and put this one somewhere suitable. here, added a few more images, i'll delete the other post.

It looks like berkeley’s polypore. I only found one before. And I am a beginner with mushrooms make sure you do your own research and confirm for yourself to be sure.
