Is that patch of bark dead? Based on that one picture, it looks like it is. You should be able to confirm pretty easily - if the bark comes off and is browning under that area, it is dead. If that is the case, the fungus is simply showing up to start decaying dead material. It is unlikely the same fungus seen there caused the dead spot.

The cambium is not dead under these patches. It seems to be attacking the bark only. No weeping as slime flux woukd cause. These patches are dry. New pictures attachedView attachment 203353View attachment 203354

Weird stuff, looks a little like this Smooth Patch - The P&PDL Picture of the Week - Plant & Pest Diagnostic Laboratory, Purdue University but never seen it on Pears or Elm? I've seen slime mold from mulch climb up tree trunks too that look like that but not that high?
