Brown bracket fungi, likely "Inonotus obliquus" or a similar species, grow on a tree trunk in a wooded area. The fungi have a textured, rich brown upper surface and a lighter underside, emerging in shelf-like formations. The trunk's gray bark contrasts with the fungi. Surrounding greenery, including leaves and undergrowth, indicates a forest setting, potentially in temperate regions. These types of fungi often signify decaying wood, playing a role in nutrient cycling within forest ecosystems.
