This is exactly Oyster Fungus. They are very harmful. They cause the disease “Dry Rot”. They can be treated by epoxy chemicals. Ethylene Glycol can also be used to kill the fungus. Copper Naphthenate is also used to kill the fungus.

Hi. I can think of two diseases out of which one may affect the tree. The first one is a fungal disease caused by a fungae Armillaria mellea. It affects the roots of the trees. The infection starts from the roots & gradually spreads to the different parts of the tree. The symptoms are early defoliation & shedding of all the leaves. There is no cure once the disease infects the tree. Just try to cut out the affected area. Another is a bacterial disease caused by a bacteria called pseudomonas syringae. The symptoms are the same as above. Its also cant be cured. Just prune out the affected areas of the tree & apply alcohol on every cut. This will prevent from the bacteria to infect the tree.
