RE: [compost_tea] Re: blackspot vrs sooty mold



Molds are musty smelling members of the fungi kingdom that feed on organic materials and thrive in moist conditions.

 

Molds, mildews, and yeasts are various types of fungi.

Sooty mold does not harm your plant, it is just ugly.  Black spot harms the plant. 

Sooty mold requires that you exit the insects making the honey dew.  That's what sooty mold grows on.

And let's get technical here.  What's the difference between a mold and a fungus?
