Daer group,

I have about 400 pawpaw trees in an orchard arrangement. Yesterday I was collecting fruit and taking notes on performance. I looked up in one tree and was what at first looked like a dead mouse. It was a pawpaw completely covered with black what looked like hair. Here is a picture of it. Can't remember of ever seeing this before, not even small patches of it on fruits and this one was 100% covered and the rest of the fruits were clean. Can someone tell me what it is?
