Fungus on leaves of squash

My pumpkins squash and cucumber leaves are dying and have developed a fungus I believe according to your website. Should I or can I harvest what I have or does it need to be destroyed? Do I need to remove the plants from the garden?
Thanks so much for your help!

It would depend on the type of fungus that your plants are infected with.
Powdery Mildew can be treated.
