Some bloomin' mushrooms on a tree at Millennium Park along the Charles River this afternoon, after the rain had stopped.

I"ve never had much of green thumb, but I do know that healthy trees are a good thing. Is this fungus growth ok for the tree? What the hell is goiing on in there?
Some good things, actually

Well, maybe not with that specific tree, but somebody's been very busy over the last few months hauling out lots of invasive weeds and stuff as part of a Parks Department project to clean up that path (don't worry: They're leaving the large "Machinery" and "Leather" friezes that were dumped there after Mechanics Hall was torn down back in the day, when that area was the city dump).
It’s a Dryad’s Saddle mushroom

It’s a type of polypore mushroom that’s common to see this time of year. They mostly grow on dead hardwood trees but sometimes on live ones - they’re not really a threat to a healthy tree.
Neat trivia-fact - this is one of the fungus types they used to make paper out of!

I shall now refer to them as saddle mushrooms!
