It may be this is Tipot but we can't be absolutely certain.

Polyporus igniarius, Fries, or Agaric of the oak, is a fungus found on oak, cherry, willow, plum, and other trees. When young it is soft, but gradually becomes hard and woody.
In shape it somewhat resembles the Polyporus officinalis; its upper smooth surface is marked with dark circular ridges, and its under surface is very porous and of a yellowish-white color. It is tasteless and has no smell.
Tipot is a mystery man associated with medical matters in papers fom the 17th Century but always as a third party reference. “Tipot says that ….” . But he remains hidden and has no other names that can be found.
