Hello, my mango tree seems to have a sort of fungus, and my lychee is getting burned, if anyone has any answers, please help me.

The mango tree looks normal.

That's not an issue; it come from not enough frost or drought to make it flower completely.

The growth on the second mango looks similar to some of mine that produce side shoots with flowers and the main shoot continues growing upward. 
that is normal for a Keitt mango I have.  The Lychee has a little salt burn/buildup on some of the lower leaves, but it looks like it will be producing new leaves and growth shortly.  After the new leaves grow in, the older leaves will drop in late spring.  I always get a little salt burn late in the year on lower leaves.  As the plant continues to grow larger it often grows out of this issue. The heavy rains we have had will also help leach salts from the soil and prevent as much salt buildup in the leaves later in the year.

Probably anthracnose.  Spray with copper fungicide (i.e Southern Ag brand)  on the manufacturer's recommended schedule.
Good luck!

I had the same leaf tip browning on my lychee for about 3 years after I planted it. Sometimes half of every leaf would turn brown. I dug compost in the bed a couple of years ago. The big improvement though coincided with when I began a daily soaking, filling a 4" deep trench around the tree with water. More new leaf flushes appeared after a couple of years of almost no growth and the new leaves are staying green. Still hasn't fruited.

i had the same thing also with one in a container.
seems there was little organic matter left, the soil had become hydrophobic
it needed daily watering.once i put it in ground it was resolved.
My other lychee had tip burning and simple mulching fixed it.

im a big believer in mulch for anything in ground.
it keeps soil moisture stable, and rain from tearing up the  soil.

Tip dying could be caused by Low potassium, but I'm not a lychee expert.
