House wash growths





Hi guys I was wondering if anyone has come across these before. I know there are things like artillery fungus before but it’s the first time I have come across these. It looked like it was growing out of the paint and was on both corners of the house in a shaded side with no flowerbed and a sunny side above a flower bed. Bleach killed them (although they may have already been dead prior they just turned more white) but they seemed embedded into the paint. Customer wasn’t worried about them at all thankfully but I am eager to learn.

I’d guess it is some residue left behind by ivy or vine that once grew on the siding.

Thank you, that does make sense as it looks like either something grew into the sidings paint or out from the other side. Definitely wouldn’t be an easy removal in any sense. I noticed it on the first walk around but I totally thought it was debris from the nearby trees just needing to be rinsed.

Like @OhioFloMo said…..looks like old vine trails. We don’t do nothing for that….
