THE BLACK SPOT

Not the Black Spot delivered by Blind Pew in Treasure Island but a common fungal visitor on sycamore leaves at the end of summer.  


This Tar Spot fungus (Rhytisma acarinum) only appears late in the year and doesn't cover much of the leaf so it doesn't cause the sycamore any problems. 

Rather decorative, I think.
