Giant mushroom discovered in Durham

We found this strange mutation on the side of a tree yesterday and I couldn't resist this angle. No photoshopping involved, the rest of the tree is disappearing off to the top right at a very strange angle, probably caused by its growth.

Panasonic Lumix DMC-TZ3
1/30s f/3.3 at 4.6mm iso320 full exif

other sizes: small medium large original auto

What a great find...it doesn't appear to impact the health of the tree just the shape.
