Pendleton, SC, front yard. Affecting middle aged and young trees
This is a normal part of sweetgum tree growth, and not a fungus. In my experience, the wetter the environment, the more corky wing develop on the branches. For example, trees growing close to a river or lake are a lot "wingier" than those growing in front yards.
