Back in February we found a goiter looking like thing in a pine tree - it looked like a plastic golf ball to be honest. It looks like the plastic golf ball thing sprouted plastic koosh ball hair. (I'm gonna have to find the picture from feb). One if mike's spawn cracked it open. It was anticlimactic.
Thank you Kerri!! Nancy Lee and I had figured out it was a fungus, but that was about it. (I've been depending a lot of time identifying snakes, bugs, and flowers) Very cool. I don't know that I have apples or crabapples, but if the spores can travel 2 miles, then I believe it. My property is chock full of cedars. Yay. Thank you thank you!

Well, it's incredibly freaky looking, whatever the hell it is. That would scare me if I just found it in a tree somewhere, to be honest.
