Lilac Tree and Bush has bark peeling/Fungus

Hello, Does anyone know what is wrong with my Lilac Tree, and bush? The bark has a fungus on it, and the bark is peeling. There are dead branches that get no leaves or flowers. I noticed that last year. This year the same is happening. Only this year, I noticed that my Lilac Bush is also getting the same thing. What is it, and what can I do to save them? Or should I cut them down and save the rest of my lilacs on the property? Thank you for any help in this matter.
