The fungus looks like some /Trametes/ to me. Normally they grow on old
wood, in this case there may be something in the crack in the cement,
which makes the Fungus grow there. Though dark, perhaps there is enough
moisture there.
Strange indeed.

Hello,
My friend T Michaelsen, has forwarded few photos of a Mushroom(?) and
its description in his own words is forwarded. Place is outskirts of
Mysore city, Karnataka.
What is your opinion on the enclosed photos? A mushroom found in an
almost dark room. Growing on cement. There is only a 1mm crack in the
cement between the floor and the wall. Some red clay soil is found
down there under the floor. There is hardly any nutrition and light
for this mushroom to grow. It is 32 cm.s wide. Daughter mushrooms are
growing on top of this mother mushroom!
Requesting assisstance
thanking you in assistance.
regards
a.shivaprakash
