No the lichens dont hurt the trees. Lots of trees have fungal diseases called x canker. They develop a sore that leaks sap at the infection site.

Np. The various fungal pathogens that cause tree cankers and other plant diseases are mostly carried around the world by the nursery trade. Plant local grown native plants!
