Problem Cordyline Australis Trunk Help!

Hi, I bought a Cordyline in May and planted it in a very large pot with a peafree compost and good drainage at the bottom. It’s thrived all summer but now I’ve noticed the trunk is very wet and appears to have a white fungus on it (see photos) I’m desperately hoping it’s not rotting! Because I used a compost throughout is there a drainage problem? There has been an awful lot of rain in the last month here in Norfolk. I’d rather not put it in the ground as I need it for height (to block house behind) and my ground is full of rubble from previous owners. Help please.

    id get the stumps of former leaves removed as they'll be holding the water, a sharp tug usually works well
