This will signify that it has a fungal infection. This can be common with areas that have rains with no dry out period, or general overwatering.

You will need a fungicide to treat the plant. This article will help: https://www.gardeningknowhow.com/garden-how-to/info/using-fungicides-in-garden.htm ^[1]
