Kinda gross, but kinda cool at the same time.
Turns out it is Cedar Apple Rust -- a fungal disease that can grow on apples, hawthorns, and junipers. On the apples and hawthorns, it can cause serious damage, but doesn't do much more than look funky on junipers. More info here from Kansas state university.

I concur, EwwwwWWW.
Does it have a smell? Did you touch it?
I was going to ask exactly what Thomas did!....so....
It didn't smell, and I didn't touch it. It looked awfully wet and sticky, and I was afraid I'd have orange gooey fingers.
This orange fungus corpse tastes terrible!
But oh those yummy lichen corpses...
