It's actually a fungus, a sort of elves bench. This tree snapped during a storm a few years ago. It is a source to this elves benches. I used the old tree as a border to this picture. Since the composition is pointing upwards, I turned my camera 90 degrees. I used a small f-range to dissolve the background. Also: the light transforms in some light bolbs, which creates a mystic or magical atmosphere.

Svekke, hi,
You've captured a beautiful shot of Tinder Fungi [Fomes fomentarius] (4 pieces were found on Otzi the Ice Man's body by archaeologists), which is a pulpy kind of polypore fungus, used to start fires and to blot wounds and to make clothing (via "amadou" in Europe); AND, they're also called Hoof Fungi, because they look like horse hooves. Your sharp focus blends so nicely into the green forest behind. You found, btw, a very young, alive, fresh-looking mushroom, which has an unusually pleasant color transition from dark gray bands (old on top) through white and orange (young on bottom). Well done foraging and shooting!
Thank you!
