We have a tree on our property that has been in a fight with a fungal infection. It's still alive, and we have been helping it with some fungicide and pruning some very dead branches, and it has started to show signs of recovery (new leaves whereas before none were growing).

But there is a weird brown mass coming out from one of the branches, and we are unsure of what it is. Some results we found googling "brown goo on tree branch" suggested it might be tree sap and other strategies from the tree to help itself, but other sources suggested it might be a fungal body.

Any help would be appreciated. 🙇🏻‍♂️

As you can see, it is very small.
