Orange spots are probably coral spot - which is, indeed, a fungus.
It infects dead wood within weeks in warm damp conditions, but
rarely causes any trouble to living plants.

Note that the "traditional wisdom" is that it can cause die-back,
but it is also possible that all of the cases of where it appears
to do so are where something else is causing the die-back and it
is infecting the dead wood immediately afterwards. Anyway, most
old shrubs have it on at least some of their dead branches, and
they don't die back.

I ignore it.

OK, Nick, thanks for that. I'll just cut them out.

But I was hoping for a bit more feedback. Perhaps tomorrow?

Regards
