Daldinia concentrica
Irregular black masses growing where a branch had been cut.
Rural area. There is a river just vertically below where the tree is. So closer examination was not possible.
Story behind the name; https://www.historic-uk.com/HistoryUK/Hi... This fungus burns well and embers keep glowing for a long time. Smoke is reportedly pungent..

Happy to help :)
Thank you, thewndrr. It does look like a match.
It could be King Alfred's Cakes, Daldinia concentrica. https://www.inaturalist.org/taxa/121714-...
