Is it some type of fungi?

Omg...I'm going to suggest if never planted anything there and if there was a deposit of organic matter then yes. Never seen it before, sort of reminds me of 'The Hobbit' movies @dawnbrooks

There are all types of plants around. Whatever it is has been appearing for a few years. It doesn't seem to affect anything but would like to know what it is.

I have no idea but have you ever heard of dead mans foot fungus?

That's it Dead Mans Fingers! I've looked it up and that's definitely it. How apt for Halloween. I think it's developed on old roots below the surface of the ground. Thanks alovealoe for pointing me in the right direction.
