ID help? Some kind of polypore? eastern WA, USA

My amature guess is that it's turkey tail (Trametes versicolor)

It might help if the tree its found on could be identified
- I was thinking it looked turkey-tail-esque! Interesting!
  
  It's growing at the base of a viburnum, though I don't know what specific species in that genus.
  
  That link above has a check list of sorts to help in the identification.
Definitely not turkey tail. I asked my partner and they say it is possibly a resinous polypore or something similar, which could be a good place to start with IDing it.
I don’t know the name but I have some growing on my dead rhoadie stump here in Seattle. I haven’t cut it down because I love them so much.
And can it be eaten. If so, how do you prepare it? If not, what happens to you?
