mycoscope's Identifications

Around 5 clusters of these growing around the base of a conifer tree. Felt firm but still somewhat squishy. The clump I pulled up to take a photo of seemed to be three main stems growing very close together that branched out at the top. Felt dry and not slimy at all.

Seemed to be three clumps growing very close together, maybe just one large branched clump? Felt firm but still somewhat squishy. Base was white. Was growing very close to a stump of an old tree, I forget what it used to be other than some sort of evergreen.
