My big project for the backyard this summer is a DIY irrigation system. Should be a fun one!

I've found this in several of my trees this year too but wasn't sure exactly what it was. Some were easy to cut off, others would require removing a large branch and losing a significant portion of the tree so I'm not 100% sure what to do although if it is indeed fungus then perhaps there is no choice. Another issue I have is the neighbors have these things all over their trees, some of which are close to or even overhang into our yard. I discreetly removed some of the smaller branches from those trees but again there are some larger ones. If this is a spreading fungus or something then I am concerned for my trees but obviously it's difficult to do anything about a tree that is not in my yard. Talking to the neighbors is probably useless, they don't have much interest in yard maintenance and are clueless as to what to do even if they were interested.
