Bracket fungi, or shelf fungus, are fungi notable for bearing fruiting bodies (conk) as or in a "bracket": a grouping of individual mushroom caps that lie in a close planar grouping of separate or interconnected horizontal rows.
Brackets can range from only a single row of a few caps, to dozens of rows of caps that can weigh several hundred pounds.
