In the field, Seek identified this as Chocolate Tube Slime. But I've seen that elsewhere, and that didn't seem right. This doesn't have the branching I've seen in pictures of Candlesnuff Fungus. There were multiple examples of this at breaks in the tree bark. At first glance, I thought Honey Locust tree, but these seem to be fungus.
