Would you have a shot of the underside or be able to say what it looked like? This might be a species of Gloeophyllum (e.g. http://canberranaturemap.org/Community/Species/15592).

I have added a shot of the underside. I hope this helps

It helps indeed. The genus is found commonly on coniferous wood and, when fresh, the upper surface is coloured in shades of brown, from very dark to orange-brown with the margins yellowish-brown to golden. All species have a corky, rather than fleshy, texture and the gills on the underside are often irregular, even a little maze-like rather, than arranged in simple radiating lines.
