Congratulations on your book! That’s exciting. You know, I’m not even sure how I found your blog but I’ve enjoyed it ever since.
As for that thing on your tree, it’s a ~cyra beta prectum~ AKA ~ugly white mass on tree~!
Hey, someone’s gotta make YOU laugh. LOL!
Have a great day Lynn.
I’m thinking your Martian friends left something of theirs behind on your tree. We actually have something similar growing in our yard.
I think that must be a pod person growing on your tree!!
Oh, definitely alien Lynn:) No doubt about it, trust me on this…I know!
It takes gall to show photos like this. Is their a fungus among us. Perhaps alien inspired? Or is it simply an insect providing itself with a home? A wasp without a home. Unlike your book which has found one. Congratulations.

OK – that last picture looks like a white Sasquatch clinging to the tree – perhaps headless so the possibilities are endless. I think you need to encorporate it into your NEXT book (see, already rounding up work for you!). Congratulations Lynn!
It sort of looks like the face on the tree in ‘Pohahontas’ the Disney film – but made of furry marshmallow lol
Many congrats on the book
It’s a tree fungus. Better on the tree than in your house!
Lady Gaga may emerge……. assume a safe distance :>
What a wonderful accomplishment…..congratulations to you!
I’m going to go with tree sap, the equivilant of tree blood and pus. It looks like an oozing wound from where the limb or branch was chopped off.

it is marshmallow fluff to make fluffernutters! go ahead, lick it and see if i am right =o)
Congratulations on your book! What an accomplishment!
I think the thing on the tree is some sort of gypsum blossom that grows/forms in caves. Are you sure you don’t live in a cave?
Have you tried to communicate with it?

That’s clearly an albino squirrel’s tail . . . they have a unique form of molting every fall . . .
What? You didn’t know?
It looks like part of the abominable snow creature from The Empire Strikes Back. You know, the one that drags Luke into the ice cave?
Congrats on the book! :0)

Looks like a little Smurf!

Congrats! It’s a mushroom.
Congrats! You found the rare, exotic cotton candy tree! (just kidding, for goodness sake’s- don’t eat it!)
It’s a fungus among us! Hey – a BIG congrats on the publication of your book! It takes tenacity to FINISH a book, let alone get it published! So – here’s a Pat on the back, or if you’d rather, I’ll just stay over here!
It could be something the Martians left behind… but I think it’s a mushroom or a fungus!
I think that is where babies come from, right?
I think it’s a kind of fungi, isn’t it?
Larissa´s last [type] ..How to Look Natural MakeUp Tips
Hmmm, definitely alien…do I see a face? Perhaps an alien in larval stage…be prepared to make a run to safety when the metamorphosis is complete!
It’s probably some kind of fungus but it looks like your tree just wanted to make some smores.
Oh gosh, that thing is gross. I hate seeing mushrums and the like on trees so this is freaking me out a bit. it’s like a slightly friendlier version of a mushroom.
Oh, I seriously hope it’s some kind of weird mushroom because anything else would be just that much more gross. Ewwwwwwwww!!!! Run away before it eats you!
My 3 year old said “mommy its candy i want some”
I have to disagree with him, but oh to have the imagination of a 3 year old!!
Congrats on your book!!
That…is … a large, white glob of nastiness. There you go.
How very odd looking. As it looks nothing like any of the fungus I usually see on trees I would have to say that the spore must have fallen from a martian’s ship!
And congratulations on the book! Do you have a publication date yet?
WooohOOOOOOO!! finally a romance novel i can read at my desk and still look like i am working! CONGRATULATIONS!!!! i can not wait.
The life form on your tree is upsillynndusurassus. it is a very rare form of funghi that migrated via the assunderus beetle which came from Peru back in the 1800′s. if you look closely, you can see the underspanxus of the upsillynndus tracks made my the beetle. the famous fungus doctor, Dr. Iamaputz from central PA discovered it years ago.
whatever you do, don’t touch it. you might contract upassusspanxus which causes your sides to hurt uncontrollably.
good luck.
Looks like some sort of crystal formation from maybe the sap? It at first looked like a bunny stuck in a hole in the tree! Congratulations on your upcoming book!

Congratulations!!! I’ll take a guess and say a mushroom.
So. Cal. Gal´s last [type] ..I wonder…
A published author – that is fantastic news! Best of luck with your new book!
We have such a wide array of mushrooms and such growing in our yard it almost seems like it should qualify as a mushroom preserve. Although we’ve been told, “Everything out there is death. DEATH!”
So my advice is to ignore these people who are suggesting you make smores with it

Congratulations about the book! And on the tree – looks like a mushroom

Tree sap fungus? Martian life?
It’s a real toss up there.
Grats, the e-book is a great idea. Good luck. Could this thing be a mushroom growing on tree bark?
That tree is rabid! Run! Run for your lives!!!
It is a Martian cauliflower and it tastes like chocolate but has zero calories
How exciting to be so close to publishing!
The kids and I agree that it is probably a pom pom and you will want to look close by for the little cheerleader that goes with it.
Congrats on the book
Marshmallow Martian Poof. Definitely…
Congrats on your book! I think it is some kind of person dressed in a little marshmallow suit trying to take over your tree
Hmm, do I have to be right? ‘Cuz if not, it’s definitely a mutant hairy marshmallow. But don’t eat it, it was probably zapped into existence by Martians.

Congrats on the book! I love ebooks, just rcently started buying most of my books in ebook fromat.
Oh and maybe its a faerie house or a giant snail???
It’s the hair from Santa Clause’s beard trim!
Foam from the soap that was used to wash out tree’s knot hole for having made seedy comments about a squirrel’s nuts.
Congratulations on your book! I am very happy for you!
At first I thought It was a big melting Marshmallow but as I study it close I think it is some kind of fungus kind of like a mushroom. Or maybe the Martians have left you a little surprise, maybe good maybe bad don’t rush in to anything.
Oh my goodness. That looks like a super secret Martian surveillance camera. They ARE watching us!!!! Thank you so much for always sharing your knowledge of Martians with us. Otherwise I would have fallen for their camoflauge and assumed it was some sort of mushroom!
Oh, that is of course the rare, white, tree sponge. It is a cousin of the sea sponge but, grows on trees in areas where the sea is not too close. It opens up when a person with good vibes gets near it. Especially if they have a camera or write a blog. It absorbs the vibes and then emits good karma which will continue long after the person exits the direct area. Congratulations on your book – I can’t wait to read it. Also, lucky you, congratulations on your encounter with the tree sponge. Now nothing but good reviews and sales will occur on the release of said book! Blessings, Tia
Yeehaw – you’re book is getting published! That is super exciting
I think that white thing is some sort of mutant fungus. I’d keep an eye on that thing. Make sure it doesn’t move or grow or glow in the dark…
Thanks for the generous giveaway!
