Fungus/Lichen on Azaleas

Question

How to rid azaleas of a gray/blue fungus that appears to killing them?

Answer 1

The fungus is lichen and is not what is killing the plant. Lichen is especially attracted to plants that are unhealthy, so it is a symptom rather than a cause of the plants dying. What other symptoms do the plants have? We can identify what is killing the plant if we know that.
