Product Overview
Artillery fungus is one of the most frustrating exterior stains encountered by pressure washing professionals. Commonly found growing in hardwood mulch, artillery fungus produces tiny black spores that can be launched up to 20 feet onto nearby structures. Once attached, these sticky spores bond tightly to the surface and often resist conventional cleaning methods.
Artillery Spores & More™ is specifically designed to help break down and loosen these stubborn deposits, making removal easier while helping restore the appearance of affected surfaces.
Ideal for residential, commercial, and property maintenance applications, this professional-grade formula is an excellent addition to any pressure washing or soft washing arsenal.

What Is Artillery Fungus?
Artillery fungus, often called shotgun fungus, is a wood-decaying fungus commonly found in hardwood landscape mulch. During cool, damp conditions, it produces tiny fruiting bodies that eject sticky black spores toward light-colored surfaces using internal pressure.
These spores can travel remarkable distances before attaching themselves to nearby structures, where they become extremely difficult to remove due to their natural adhesive coating.
Although artillery fungus does not typically damage building materials, the black spots it leaves behind can significantly affect the appearance of siding, trim, windows, and other exterior surfaces if left untreated.

Why Pressure Washing Alone Doesn't Remove Artillery Fungus
Many exterior stains are caused by algae, mold, or mildew and can be effectively removed using standard house wash detergents or bleach solutions. Artillery fungus is different.
Each black spore is covered with a powerful natural adhesive that firmly bonds it to the surface. While pressure washing may remove surrounding dirt and organic growth, the spore itself often remains attached.
Artillery Spores & More™ is formulated specifically to help loosen these stubborn spores, making removal significantly easier than pressure washing alone.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is artillery fungus?
Artillery fungus, also known as shotgun fungus, is a wood-decaying fungus that grows in landscape mulch and ejects sticky black spores onto nearby structures.
What surfaces can artillery fungus affect?
It commonly appears on vinyl siding, painted siding, gutters, windows, trim, garage doors, mailboxes, outdoor furniture, vehicles, fencing, and other exterior surfaces.
Does pressure washing remove artillery fungus?
Pressure washing alone often removes dirt surrounding the spores but may not remove the spores themselves because of their strong adhesive coating. Specialty cleaners like Artillery Spores & More™ are designed to help loosen these stubborn deposits.
Is artillery fungus the same as mold?
No. Although both are fungi, artillery fungus produces sticky black spores rather than surface mold growth.
Can artillery fungus come back?
Yes. If infested hardwood mulch remains around the property, new spores may continue to be discharged during favorable growing conditions.
Is this product for professional contractors?
Yes. Artillery Spores & More™ is a professional-grade cleaning product trusted by pressure washing contractors, exterior cleaning professionals, property managers, and homeowners.
