Can anyone please identify what is happening to my fruitless mulberry trees?

I could be way off as I am not a tree expert, but doing a search brought up something called "slime flux". Does this have a bad smell? If so, than this likely is it.

I found one article that seems informative.

Thank you for your help. There is no bad smell. The branches seem to be dying slowly from the ends toward the trunk on one side.

I wish I could have helped you more, but I hope someone will come along soon to give you some suggestions. The only mulberry I have is the invasive and we're trying to get rid of that.

I think it is a bark borer that caused this. The borer have moved to the oaks now. I am using Acecaps to treat them.
