Sunflower unidentified black spots

Hi, I this my first year growing sunflowers, and I kinda went nuts. I don't have any giant ones, just velvet and autumn mixes. All grown from seed inside and transferred outside after second set of true leaves. I have noticed that they are growing exponentially but they have also been getting some black spots on them and some are shriveling at the top. I was so excited for these flowers I hope I can save them (or at least prevent it in the future) I just need help identified the problem. I've asked gardening friends and they don't have a clue. I suspect some fungus or mold. There are MANY more pictures of different sunflowers that look just like this one. It's been REALLY wet here over the past couple months. (Yes I know it's WA state, but it's really been raining!) Please help me help my sunflowers by identifying this issue! Thank you for your time!
