Location of the tree is roughly the middle of the lower peninsula of Michigan.

    There are lots of saprotrophic fungi capable of doing this. That tree has a lot of problems for a fungi to bloom that pervasively. That one is a goner. Dead trees perform important ecological services however!

    It looks like northern sawtooth fungus to me but do not take an internet sleuth’s word for it.

      yeah i’d actually recommend OP to report this to the local government, because they’ll probably want to prune the branches off or in the extreme case cut it down entirely to prevent damage as it comes apart.
