🎞️ #2537-08

The image shows several large brown and tan mushrooms growing from the trunk of an oak tree located in a forest or woodland area. The mushrooms are circular with concentric rings that darken as they move towards the edge. They have a white rind around their edges.

They appear to be Fomes fasciatus, also known as hoof polypore, which is a common type of bracket fungus found on trees throughout North America. This species of fungi can cause a brown rot in the wood it grows from and produces spores that are spread by wind or rain. – AI vision
