The disease mainly affects American Vitis and muscadine grapes. Angular, reddish brown to black spots that are 1 to 2 mm in diameter appear after midseason. Nearing veraison, lesions become larger with diffuse margins. Fruiting bodies may be seen with a hand lens. The area surrounding the spots may be yellow.
