looks pretty chaotic evil, as mushrooms Go!
Should it be this black? Is it rotten, dead or even burned? Or infested, looking at those webs?
FWIW, I think it should all look like the part of it that is close to the trunk.
This is perfectly normal for chaga, save for the exceptionally phallic shape.
Inonotus obliquus is usually found on standing trees, looking like a large lump of blackened, crusty material, reminiscent of charcoal, thrusting itself through the tree’s bark.
