found on oak trunk

[MAPLE LEAF]

 

Saw this on a oak tree this week on the trunk and the base was soft could pull off the bark quite easily.

thinking early stages of kretzs.

black spots very small had to look very close to the trunk to see them and went up about 2mts.

also noticed the small red patch anything to be concerned about.

been reading about acute oak decline hopefully not this.

Looks like lichen to me

 

Something like Amandinea punctata

Looks remarkably similar to an oak tree in the middle of our village.... at first I thought somebody had vandalised the tree with white paint!

 

It's Lichen:
