resinaceum 'uncovered'

Inonotus dryadeus in an unusual upright form.

 

Ofcourse it may have dried out this way.

 

I'm wondering if the adventitious bud proliferation on the butress, is directly atributable to the presence of the Inonotus.

This is a natural oddity or phenomenon without obvious cause. And I think the bolete is associated with oak.

Climatic, molecular, parasitism ?

The bolete probably is one of the varieties of Xerocomus chrysenteron s.l.

And why can't you accept the whims of mother nature without knowing a cause for it ?
