No, fungus is something else and taking the leaves off is what to do. Air circulation should stop the fungus. Wash the plants with warm soapy water and allow the leaves to get good and dry. Good luck. MB

Thanks MaryBeth. Is the fungus like stuff on the leaves a result of the white flies also?

White fly is pretty hard to get rid of. You could try soapy spray like one would for aphids. but what you really need it to spread out the plants and let them get lots of air around them. the dark, damp, closeness is what attracts White Fly. I hope this helps. Wash the plants real good. MB
