NW Florida. Not sure I see it year-round, but it's super common. Always grows on dead trees but I've not noted what species it likes. Supper common. When it's fresher the color is intense. This stuff has started to dry up.

It’s imgur, pretty unpleasant website.

If Stereum doesn't check out you could take a look at Plicatura.

I'd give iNaturalist a go:

They're pretty out of focus but it looks like a curtain crust Stereum sp.. The underside should be flat or slightly wrinkly without any gills, pores, or spines.

Sorry can't be of much help but thanks for sharing

Possibly lichen? Looks similar to the light green stuff I saw on trees in Arkansas growing up.

Don't think this is a lichen, seems to be a shelf fungus.
