Inonotus dryadeus
decayed oak bracket
@DorenB thanks for the info!
This could be an old, decayed Oak Bracket fungus, Inonotus dryadus. Normally they are not this dark, but this looks like a very old specimen. They are typically found growing on oak trees near the base like this.https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Inonotus_d...
