Thought this was a pretty neat find. Usually find them on older cedars, or pines.

I think that is a rust fungus, you know what species of tree this is? Cedar can mean a lot of things and I can't see enough of the tree to tell anything beyond it being a conifer.

Maybe, there are a lot of rust fungi genera and to be honest I don't know how to differentiate between them usually. Knowing the host plant is the first step in all my rust fungi literature, it could be easy to identify with that much info given the conspicuous appearance.

I thought it might be a rust fugus, just it look right from all the pictures and descriptions. Seems too be more a jelly fungus dacrymyces stillatus seems more likely too me. But I know for sure it was a cedar sapling. One dead right next to it an several more all around.
That was just my educated guess on what it was. Haven't looked much into jellies, slim molds, or just fungus much yet.

What does cedar sapling mean? I'm guessing its probably not Cedrus which is not native to North America.
I think jelly fungi are ligniclous, not parasitic on living plants.

Thanks, but I'm skeptical, from what I can see it has needle-like leaves as in Pinaceae rather than the scale-like leaves found in the Cupressaceae which Thuja occidentalis is a member of.

I'm pretty sure it's eastern red cedar. When mature and cured has a reddish purple in the center

Juniperus virginiana also has scale-like leaves and not the needle-like leaves I see in your images, but most of the needles are blurry so I can't really offer anything more helpful...
