Black streaks on shingle roofs are caused by an algae called gleocapsa magma. This algae feeds on the limestone granule coating that is present on most shingles. Over time, these algae colonies can grow and spread over wide spaces. Their telltale black streaks are most commonly seen on the north sides of most roofs, where extra shade and moisture provide the ideal environment for growth.
