It could be either black spot or sooty mold. Both are treatable and in most cases, not fatal to the plants. These articles will help:

Also, sooty mold is caused by pests, so look for them as well. Fortunately, there is an organic solution that treats this fungus (and the peststhat cause it). Treat the affected with neem oil once a week for amonth. Here is more information on neem oil: https://www.gardeningknowhow.com/plant-problems/pests/pesticides/neem-oil-uses.htm [3]
