Question

While doing yardwork, I noticed tan bumps near the base of a tree trunk. They were about 3cm tall and smooth. The next day, I noticed 7 more bumps; now some were 5cm tall and seemed to have a narrow base and an umbrella-like top. By the end of the week I noticed that my tree had bare patches on its trunk all round the bumpy area.
