There are five of these and this one seems to be the only one that is compromised.

Hi Audrey, Fungi are generally an indication of additional moisture. Can you send a picture of the planting area at the base of the juniper and tell me how it is being watered, type of irrigation, frequency, etc. so I can further assist? Juniper are low water use plants and can be susceptible to too much moisture.
