It was my usual first stop for confirming fungi species, http://www.mushroomexpert.com/fistulina_...
This page points to another for an example of the pores, http://www.mushroomexpert.com/pseudofist..., here you can see that the pore surface is composed of distinctly separate tubes. When I zoomed in on my specimen the pores appear to share walls, although I could be mistaken due to limitations of my camera.

they seem quite separate to me (as opposed to a mature dryad's saddles pores for example), where did you read that? I'm wondering what different kind of pores exist with mushrooms

Not sure about that Lipase, from what I read, F. hepatica has conspicuously separate pores.
