Noticed the "fuzz" growing on the trees at Thomas Cove Coastal Reserve,
Headlands Trail when hiking on Saturday (sept 9th)

I'm not familiar with what it is.  They were growing on the base of the
trees, probably taking over the lower 3-5 feet of branches that started at
about 6 feet off the ground, almost no leaves on those branches, and they
were on parts of the trunk.   Above that area the trees looked normal.  I
did not think to stop and record the type of tree or photograph more of it
while I was on a fast walking pace.

It was very dry to touch, probably makes a good fire starter when in neeed.

Some photos included here:
