Meripilus Giganteus?

I'm awful at correctly identifing various species of mushrooms. That said, my field guide strongly suggests 

that these mushrooms I found in Forest Park are indeed Meripilus Giganteus, more commonly 

known as Black-staining Polypore. It depends on which you trust more as a source, the National Audubon Society or Wikipedia. :-)
