The disease usually starts on older tissues, and symptoms appear on younger leaves later. Leaf mold symptoms starts as a light green to yellow spots on upper side of the leaves which can be noticed also on the underside of the leaves. On the underside of the leaves velvety and tan appearance of the infected sections can be noticed as the disease advances, which may be absent early on. The symptom starts with small yellow blotches on ripe fruits, but symptoms can also occur on green fruits. These symptoms typically start from the stem end of the fruit. The pathogen can cause fruit rot during cool wet conditions especially prevalent during late fall season in North Florida. The lesions are round, oval, sharp edged or irregular with distinct black fungal growth. Symptoms may also include sunken lesions with the center of the lesion showing cracked appearance of the skin. The fruit symptoms are only rarely seen in Florida weather conditions.
