A bracket shaped fruiting body is a convenient shape for fungi that grow on logs. The goal of the mushroom/fruiting body is to allow spores to disperse. A puff ball can "puff" out spores when a rain drop hits it. Some fungi are adapted for spores to be dispersed by wind or animals. Those species that fruit on logs require their spores to be released from the "spore surface", fall, and be carried away by the wind. The bracket shape allows for the spore surface to be facing downward to take advantage of gravity when the spores are ready to fall out.
The log is a substrate, just like soil or old bread, that the fungus uses as a food source.

Why does bracket fungi grow on trees?
Well, to understand that, first you have to understand the forest floor. In this case I'm referring to a rainforest. The forest floor only gets 2% sunlight out of all that good stuff up top, so naturally only certain plants can grow here. The plants usually only grow around river banks and swampy areas. Because of this, there is a lot of plant (and animal) decay. So this is where your fungus comes in. It actually helps to decay the plants and animals, and it also helps to clean them up, by "eating" them. Hope this helps!
