This large White Birch was cut last Fall. This morning I wondered why it was wet when everything else is dry (no rain for 24h and lots of wind). The picture does not really convey how shiny and gooey (but not sticky) it is all around the perimeter:

These ? are in the light area of the stump on the right. These pictures really show how slimy it is:

I have not seen this before. What is it?

Thanks, Nancy
