A couple of months ago I noticed one side of my Bay was covered in black spots on the leaves.  I decided to cut off all the affected branches.  Luckily the bay os about 5 feet tall and 3 wide so it made little effect.  I have not seen sign on the black spots since but this morning spotted this white ?mould/ fungus on the trunk.

Anyone id it?

Cheers
DAve

Any sap sucking insects can cause that to the leaves, wash them with soapy water.
