Hello,

I recently brought home a new tree in the past 3 weeks and noticed after about a week what looks like a fungus problem? It has been quarantined from my other trees and I have been cleaning it with a toothbrush ever since noticing but it seems to grow faster then I can clean and has now spread to other trees. Hoping someone has an idea of how to properly treat this.

Can anyone help with a possible ID of this fungus/disease?

First photo shows the new tree I brought home (fungus? On branches). The second photo is of the spread to my black pine. Any help is greatly appreciated as I do not want to loose all my trees.

There is no need to post the same thing twice!
