No worries, this tree won't be dying anytime soon. The fungi grows on the loose papery bark. The common name for this tree is "Paper Bark" although it should be called "pain in the foot tree" because each tiny leaf that falls off has a little thorn on the end that sticks in your feet if you walk barefoot.
