Need help with magnolia tree please...

We bought house south of Sarasota two years ago--built in 1978--there is a magnolia tree in backyard...not sure of the type...
When we bought the tree was very bushy vs tall--had not been trimmed in years--decades maybe...
There was what looked like fungus on the trunk (photo 1) and branches and brown spots on leaves...posted in next comment
the yard guy we were using said that was because there was so much rain in our area...
We have been pruning branches from the interior to help the tree air out and let more light inside...
the condition is about the same however...

We haven't really found a "nursery" in our area to take a sample to for info--mainly WalMart and Lowe's around us and don't trust their garden people to know anything...

Appreciate insight/suggestions
