I would agree off your description ( Inonotus hispidus) formely Polyporus hispidus - A good reference for you to look at would be Diagnosis of ill-health in trees pages 226-227-228-229 :icon14:

 

It is commonly found on trees that have suffered some sort of root damage at a stage in their lives...

 

The fungus is also associated with prunning wounds and storm damage etc, mostly located high up the stem....
