I saw this attached to a cedar tree today and had no idea what I was looking at. I broke the piece out and brought it home and took these pictures. It only took a minute on the internet to identify what this stuff is. What I found was interesting to me as I had never seen nor heard of this fungus before. I added a link below that gives a much better explanation than I can.

As Crocodile Dundee once said; "You can eat it but it tastes like S#/+."

Hmmm. If I didn't know better, I'd say it looks suspiciously like the Flying Spaghetti Monster.

Yes - I've seen it before. It's called Cedar Rust. It's a fungus that attacks cedars and junipers. I believe it will also attack apples - which is why it's not a good idea to have cedars and apples growing in the same area...like I do in my yard...which is where I've seen it before. ![]()

I used to see it a lot in Missouri, but we never had a name for it.
