The fungus that looks the closest is Inonotus Dryadeus. However, the picture
shows it weeping. The fungus coming up through our summer house floor (that
was around the base of the tree and progressing up the trunk in places) is
smooth and if you push it it is very resilient (I.e. you cannot scrape or
break it off, as it just goes a little brown and bends a bit). How on earth
could it have gone through a layer of concrete, the wooden floor of the
summer house and both the underlay and carpet ?

As the saying goes, they do, dearie, they do.

I haven't a clue what to do about it, unfortunately.
