    These are the fruiting bodies of the fungus Ganoderma applanatum, AKA Artist's Conk. They normally appear on dead or dying trees, but in this case there must be some dead wood behind the concrete blocks. The strands of fungal mycelium can grow through minute openings in the concrete, and then the mushrooms will develop when the strands reach daylight.
