That is a Staghorn Fern, a different plant, living on the tree. They get most of their nutrients/water, from the air, so they do not harm the host tree.

These are really cool. From what I understand they take a while to grow that big.

This is an Elkhorn fern (*Platycerium bifurcatum*).

It’s a staghorn fern. They are a type of aerial plant that draws nutrients and water from the air, and won’t harm the tree. I love them.
