Willow Bracket is a very tough fungus associated with willow trees, seen all year round on lower trunks of older trees. It grows in concentrically ridged layers with a fresh layer forming each year. The new layers are light-brown and feel like velvet. Older layers turn grey, then blacken and often develop cracks.
