Large crusty fungus which must grow quite quickly since it has engulfed fallen twigs and leaves. If it is a Corticioid (or "Crust") Fungus, then this would be the fruiting body, with the fungus plant inside the wood. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Corticioid....

Thank you Mark, a fungus growth would certainly be faster than that of a lichen.
Crust fungus most likely.
