In the top photo it's a ruffle but in the bottom view it looks like a shelf. It also looks like that tree may have been hit by lightning. Is that in your yard or from one of your outings?

This is not in my yard, but was taken when I was in Ocala, actually on the grounds of the Hilton where I was staying. The tree was actually thriving. Lot's of foliage and very strong limbs.

I love fungi like this.

What is the link? To Paula's 180? Shall go and see. Need time to work out an idea for this.

Great photo and interesting how it grows in the tree. Looks like a saw blade cutting into it.

Have a wonderful day,

These don't know like good to eat, guess it is tough like leather.

But a similar one LINGZHI in China is said to cure cancer.

Perhaps one of the Polypore mushrooms or shelflike mushrooms.
Grow very often on rotting wood in many colours and shapes.
Edible?? Perhaps;-)
Happy New Year!!
