Same crap that grows on our old equipment that sits outside.

I'd guess a fungus of some type. I have seen it many times before and it doesn't seem to harm trees.

It is lichens. The deer in the Northwoods actually eat that stuff in the Winter.

I watched a fawn gnaw on that stuff for twenty minutes right under me a couple years ago. It was funny, he'd get his teeth on and pull and wiggle his head with all he had to pull some off.
