Does my tree have a fungal infection?

Dakota County Minnesota

Expert Response

This may be a fungal infection
and most closely resembles anthracnose. It should not harm your tree, so you need not take steps to eliminate it. For information on fungi affecting trees, including photos and suggestions for treatment, see https://apps.extension.umn.edu/garden/diagnose/plant/deciduous/maple/leavesspots.html
