Its hard to say at this stage whats going on, if i was being pinned down and some toad was twisting my arm i would say armillaria, but dont panic!

 

There is a heck of a lot of incremntal growth (see arrows on lighter strips between bark fissures) which shows high vitality/vigor and rapid adaption to the decay that is obviously occurring :thumbup1:

Can you upload pictures of its crown at the affected side of the tree ? And the "rot" in the wound doesn't look like the type of (white) rot caused by Armillaria to me.
