  Thanks! So far I agree, I think it is a beefsteak fungus. It seems to be an asexual “anamorphic” state.

    Normal brackets are at ninety degrees to the grain of the wood, this isn’t possible when growing out of sawn off end grain. It’s not something that occurs naturally.

      That is an interesting observation. I usually see them growing at 90 degrees but I had never really given this any thought. I will pay more attention to this when I see brackets. Thanks!

        It’s just an idea, brackets grow normally on fallen trees that are horizontal but I think tree rings are a bit too much for them to compute.
