Orange fungus?

[pepper]

I noticed this orange stuff on a few leaves about a week ago. I didn't think much of it and just picked them off. But today I noticed it is all over these trees that get little red berries, I don't even know what they are called I just keep them because the birds like them. I walked around checking all my other trees and it doesn't seem to be on anything else. But then I noticed one branch on one of the chestnut trees has it.

I am a bit worried it might get out of control and kill my trees. Does anyone know what it is?

Is it an Alder Buckthorn?

I looked up some pics and I think that is what it is. I don't think the berries last long enough to get fully ripe. The bids eat them all as soon as they turn from green to red. Thanks for the info!
