I should imagine they still have the potential to grow solitarily, but I don't really know the species well enough. Perhaps it's a different Gymnopilus?

My only question being, this mushroom was growing solo and the information here says it grows in dense clusters. http://www.mushroomexpert.com/gymnopilus_junonius.html

Thank you both! You should have seen me running off the trail to get pictures!
