This is a link to some pictures of "The Blob" (dark brown stuff wrapped
around the branches, about a hundred of them, three or four inches
long) which has attached itself all over my Italian Prune tree in
upstate New York. Does anyone know what this is and what I should do to
it?

Looks like black knot, a fungus.
