EDIT: ID'd as Castanea alabamensis which is not in iNat database.

Original Text: all of these were growing around old standing deads. Did not quite look Am Chestnut, the leave shape not quite like I'm used to, and size is smaller. The standing deads around, at largest, were small for Am Chestnut as well. Single leader trunk only 2ft ish diameter at largest (most more 18"-24"), and the fork only 8-10 ft off the ground. Tree height looked too small as well. No signs of anything large in the area, not even old stumps. Signs of old pre-wilderness-era logging of this tree species as well. I am thinking a Chinkapin?

Growing on privet. Surrounded by Stereum complicatum. Perhaps this is young S. complicatum clumped and coming out of defect in bark? Unsure, never seen this morphology before
