Looks like a remnant of Laetiporus portentosus that has been lightly singed by fire?! The old remnants of this fungus, which usually grow a moderate distance up tree trunks, look like old styrofoam due to them being a great food source for insects. You don't by any chance remember any of the nearby tree species?
