What fungus would do this to a tree? Huge blooms. I know nothing about mushrooms. (sh.itjust.works)

FYI, for any folks untrained by an experienced mushroom forager: always always always assume it is poisonous and will kill you.

And not only kill you, but perhaps kill you slowly and painfully

To add onto that, by the time some toxins present themselves (as in you're feeling/noticing effects) it's already too late and fatality is imminent
