A Closer Look at Roof Algae
The black streaking typically found on homes in areas where moisture settles on shingles is not caused by mildew or fungus; it's roof algae.
The most common blue-green type has been identified by 3M scientists as Gleoecapsamagma. Algae spores are carried by the wind, which is why so many homes in the same neighbourhood can end up with this problem.
