These lichens don't cause issues, themselves. They can indicate that a tree has some sort of infection, and in some cases can be normal.

From this photo, I cannot tell which is the case.

If the rest of the tree is fine, and this is the only concern, then I wouldn't worry. If the tree seems to be lacking in health, then it will be necessary to check for pest or fungal/bacterial infections.

This article will explain how to get rid of it, if you choose to do so: https://www.gardeningknowhow.com/ornamental/fungus-lichen/treatment-tree-lichen.htm ^[1]
