Found a mushroom growing up in a tree in my backyard. Curious to know what variety it is. Any information is appreciated!

May I recommend iNaturalist? That usually gets me within genus. Get a clear view of the underside. A spore print is helpful if you can manage.

While I love iNaturalist for insects and plants, they seem to struggle with suggesting mushrooms. That, or I really don't know how to ID mushrooms.
