Dots In My Sidings

It goes all the way up to my second story windows and is even under my soffit and on my gutters.

Dots in my sidings.

The black tar like spots that are all over your vinyl siding are more than likely a fungus called sphaerobolus stellatus better known as artillery or shotgun fungus. We have these small black spots that look like specks of tar all over our white vinyl siding of our house. Shotgun fungus can shoot black spots on your house here s how to avoid the mess if you re seeing dark specks on your siding the culprit could be hiding in your mulch. We have found that this is just another specie of mildew spore.

Artillery fungus is a wood dwelling fungus commonly found in mulch. Starts out looking like some one took a pen and started tapping on the wood or siding little black dots. If you notice lots of tiny black or dark brown spots developing on your siding above a landscaped area of your yard as seen below it is most likely artillery otherwise known as shotgun fungus. It s on the porch my windows but it is worse on the siding.

Although it s most often found on the east coast it can grow anywhere and especially thrives in areas that have cool damp springs or rainy fall weather conditions. Small black spots on siding.
