It took me a while to figure out this circle of wood! What could it possibly be? I had never seen anything like it!
.
I attempted to look it up, and finally found a clue, but the closest I found to what it might be called is 'barrier wood'
I learned that when a tree is injured it walls off the decay and prevents the spread of the decay by sealing off the damage with barrier wood that is unsuitable for the spread of the disease organism.
This oak tree is in my yard and you can see the barrier wood that it has formed around these old injuries.
The barrier wood that I found on the ground in the woods must be pretty tough! Much of the rest of the tree had rotted away.
