Description
I'm adding some info - a name! Thanks to Timothy (see his comment under the image) for this identification. You can read more about this great bracket fungus at the link below:>)
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Inonotus_dryadeus
It had fruiting bodies three years ago and those are still on the tree, dried out, tough as nails, dark, and covered with moss and/or algae. Now it has new fruiting bodies - this is the largest and it's weeping amber-colored tears. What a gorgeous polypore!!!!

Probably Inonotus dryadeus, was it on oak? Beautiful.
