If you can identify this, and advise me of appropriate action, it would be greatly appreciated.

It looks like roots to me. One of my apple trees is always doing this, especially when I put a plastic tree wrap around it for any length of time. Did you have it wrapped or protected in any way before you noticed this, or is it a bare trunk? I don't worry about it here, usually they dry up, and the tree is fine, until next time.

Just my 2 cents worth. If someone thinks I am mistaken, please speak up.

I've got a very similar picture and frightened question posted some years back. One of my two M111 trees does the same thing. It looks horrible. I was assured it is not a problem, and it hasn't done anything else to the tree.
