This fungi is called conk. Conk only grows on dead wood. I just had a large Maple tree cut down because it had conk growing inside the tree trunk. There is no treatment. If a limb has conk, the tree might be saved if the limb is cut off.
A google search for ‘conk on a tree’ lists a definition and many images.
Conks are fungal fruiting bodies that sometimes resemble mushrooms attached to fir trees. Although mushrooms are also fungi, they have gills that conks lack. Conks are commonly called shelf or bracket fungi because their attachment on trees often has a shelflike appearance.
