A Fungus Among-Us?

13 years ago

My herbs all live on my small, apartment patio in terra cotta containers. My boyfriend smokes (and isn't particularly careful about where his ashes land) and all of the cottonwood trees just dropped their fuzzy little white tufts everywhere.

All of that being said, I've had these plants for about three weeks now and the rosemary, after the first week or so, seemed to develop white splotches. If you rub them with your finger, they come off. And the "fur" you're seeing is from the cottonwood trees.

Would anyone be willing to take a look at this picture and let me know if you think it is a fungus or merely cigarette ash that's been rained on?
