For PHP & MySQL the most popular free forum software is phpBB and Invision Power Board.

I concur. Although I recall that Invision is no longer free for download.

You can try a few of them out at http://www.opensourcecms.com/

YaBB is nice. The geeklog cms I'm using has a forum plugin as well.

edit:
Okay it looks like Invision is still free as a trial, but they put some serious limitations on it and if you go over those limits the board actually shuts down permanently. http://www.invisionboard.com/?triallimited
