Location of the tree is roughly the middle of the lower peninsula of Michigan.

Are you sure these aren't insect nests?

I don't think any insect would have so many scattered nests of such varied sizes across a tree like this.

I admit I didn't get closer than this picture, I was on my way somewhere. But it was so shocking I had to stop and take a picture. That was last week.

I assumed mushrooms. And then was reminded today when I saw this article.
