Good Morning,
Thank you for contacting the U of M Extension Service.
Please click on the following link about non harmful tree conditions: https://extension.umn.edu/trees-and-shrubs/non-harmful-tree-conditions
This is possibly wet wood.
if the bark is intact it’s probably wet wood. If the bark peels off it’s likely a disease.
I am attaching a document to review. It relates to white spruce diseases.
Good Luck!
