Late winter I ground layered an hedge maple - took off a nice ring of bark but did not put a wire around the top edge. Today I checked for roots cause the tree is growing like crazy but no roots around the top edge, just this "granulation", callous tissue growing there. I guess the layer failed - what now? take the whole thing apart and scrape everything off now, try again this year or leave it alone and try again next spring.
