I have always seen this balls in some pines and oaks but never seen them with this orange covering. I put it under fungi but it may be a plant parasite. Still more strange is that I found dozens of ants coming in and out of these "balls" (pic No. 3). Maybe they have the ant nest inside. The last pic is the "normal" look.
