If I recall correctly from a Mirai stream, this is normal for a bristle cone and is like old sap or something? Don’t remember exactly but it looked quite a lot like this. I think this is probably just a normal peculiar trait of bristlecones.

Look up old bristlecone streams in Mirai if you have access to Mirai, should probably make what I’m saying make more sense.

A bad sign on other plants but totally normal and characteristic of bristlecone. Dried resin.
