#MushroomMonday

Today is neither #MushroomMonday nor #FungiFriday , but extreme humidity and blazing sun, along with brief and infrequent but hard spells of rain that don't really cool things down much (it's felt like 40°-45°C every day for over a month now), have led to this growth of wood-ear fungus on the decomposing stump of a dead jackfruit tree. A welcome sign to me, but can someone help identify what exactly this is, though?

I'd brought this little jasmine home last Sunday to cheer myself up a bit (I'd had enough of a whole month of staying in due to the heat, poor health, and consequent depression), and today I planted them next to the dead tree. Jasmines are bustling, capable mediators, and one of the plants thriving in this weather. I'd hoped to have this one indoors, but they wanted to be outside in the sun with everybody else in the seeping wet of the claimed wetland earth.

A wood-ear fungus (I don't know which type and would appreciate input on this) growing in florid curlicue clusters on the cracked and decomposing stump of a dead jackfruit tree, surrounded by naturally occurring mulch and pieces of concrete debris of various sizes. The fungus is a light-to-medium reddish-brown in colour, with some fine foamy layers of white over and under them.
A little jasmine (Jasminium sambac) plant with two fully bloomed flowers and two or three buds, newly planted next to the dead tree. The soil base of the plant has been lightly covered with chunks of debris to conserve moisture and help anchor the plant. The plant is bushy in form, with big, glossy, deep warm green leaves. The plant has been copiously watered, and the leaves are shiny and dripping with water.
