What are those stains on my roof?

Those dark stains on your roof are algae. The textbook name for this type of
air borne algae is Gloeocapsa Magma. Gloeocapsa magma is found in warm
humid environments and often appears on the North side of the home and
under trees. The reason that it is usually seen on the North side of the
home is because; the north side gets the least amount of sun which causes
this area stay wet longer than the others. Gloeocapsa Magma also, forms
under trees because of the shade and the fact that when trees drip water
after it rains, it keeps the surface wet longer.
