Is this slime mold- or what?

[HillPeople]

I'm hoping someone can identify what this is.
Before bud break this year we had what I thought might be powdery mildew on the dormant canes of of our Prairie Stars.
After pruning, the cane tips bled profusely.
In a week the watery bleed had turned to a milky white slime which coated the ends of the canes.
Now it is turning opaque white to pink to bright yellow/orange.
I'm guessing it's slime mold, but I'd like to eradicate it as it is definitely stunting the leafing out of the shoots where it's present.
I've read that potassium bicarbonate and hydrogen peroxide are effective in established mold and fungus infections.
I'd appreciate any input from grape growers out there.
Thanks.

No it isn't a slime. It is a fungus. Read this





You get it from large pruning cuts under certain weather conditions.

Slime

That's it alright.
Thanks Rich.
I thought it was very odd that only the Prairie Stars had it
