Cedar Rust Fungi?

[Rich Rule]

We were working in the woods last week.  The woodland is predominantly Spruce and Scotts Pine with a fair few Birch and Hazel and the odd Juniper.  There was a fair bit of rain on Tuesday which made all the colours stand out much brighter.  One of the tracks back up the steep embankment I spotted this Jelly like fungi on a small Juniper.

 

Once spotted it seemed to be on most of the Juniper in the woods.  I looked it up and it seems to be Cedar Rust Fungi but none of the pictures seemed the same.

 

This thing looked almost aquatic or Alien with the orange tendrils.

 

Can any one confirm this ?

I am aware this looks nothing like a Juniper but trust me, they were on dead branches from a Juniper and not the Rowan you see in the pics

Hi Rich, hope you’re all well mate? 
 

on juniper it’s likely to be Gymnosporangium sabinae

 

its a species that has dual tree host, juniper is the primary host and and pear is the secondary host.

Thanks David,

 

I am keeping well mate, looking forward to the summer.

 

Having searched the Latin I must say Google seems to agree with you.

 

Cheers.
