Brackets is just a forming razor stop Mark.

 

Betulinus piptoporus as Tim says.

 

 

Dysfunction may be honey fungus.

 

Be worth looking around base of trunk for rhizomorphs or under the bark for mycelium.

 

 

 

 

Though looking at the cross section there is no notable coming away of the bark.

If it is Armillaria it may be relatively early.

 

Where there any bleeding patches on the stem?

No bleeding on stem.

 

We were going to leave it and see how it fared this season, but die-back seemed to be accelerating.

 

Dead wood falling on drive and potential to take out power line called for the earlier than planned fell.
