A single tree in Jackson Heights

This tree (Japanese cherry?) looks perfectly healthy. Leaves are fine, bark looks ok. But for some reason, it's home to an incredible number of fungi, as well as some moss. Here are the ones I saw in a few minutes. The bark mycena (Mycena corticola) has apparently not been spotted before in Queens.
