Possibly innonotus on oak

[TreeAbility]

After some help on this please. Think innonotus hispidus. Also significance on this very big old oak? There were 2 brackets deep in the hollow circled and also evidence on the other side near the arrow. sounding test on buttress roots didn't cause any concern, they seemed solid.

How worried about it would you be. Tree is pretty big, by a road and houses. It's been reduced some years ago with approx 15ft of regrowth.

I couldn't really comment on this tree without seeing the whole tree in context to its surroundings and the condition of the crown and twig extension growth. Anecdotally I've had oaks with decades old associations with dryadeus basal colonisation stand through significant storms, I've also had trees blow over in high winds with dryadeus. Tree vitality and exposure is key.

Eiffel tower fungus I think is a common name it goes by..
