Hello Samuel
This could be Armillaria rot on your Norway maple tree. https://ag.umass.edu/landscape/fact-sheets/armillaria-root-butt-rot
The tree should be evaluated on site by a certified arborist. He /she can determine if this tree is at high risk of falling. This is especially important if there are buildings, cars, people within the area where the tree could fall.
