camillia disease??

Elizabeth City, NC(Zone 8a)

hi, does anyone know what disease or parasite might be causing this on my camillia? i'm wondering if it caused the catbird to abandon her nest w/ 4 eggs in it in this tree.

Maybe a smut fungus. Probably best to remove and destroy them to reduce the risk of further infection. Don't think it'll have affected the catbirds, though.

thanks resin, is there something i should spray ( neem oil et at) to keep it from spreading to my others? is it coming from the ground or it an air born spore?
thanks a bunch
