This appears to be a serious problem, since these mushroom-like formations represent the outgrowth of a disease that already exists within the tree. It's called "fungal fruiting," and I'm not sure if the tree can be saved once this has started. However, I strongly recommend that you contact a certified arborist in your area who can help you determine whether the fungus can be controlled or eradicated, or if it's going to be fatal to the tree. We wish you the best of luck with this. Here's some reading material:
