Artist's Conk bracket fungus
This is the Artist's Conk fungus. A bracket fungus grows parasitically out of the trunks of trees and continue to grow after host tree is dead. This fungus drops spores from the underside of the bracket thus seeding a new bracket below the first one. These fungi are usually very resistant to weather and rain so they stay in place on the tree year after year. Each year the fungus drops spores which form a new shelf below the existing one. They are usually dark on top and light or even white underneath where the spores originate.
