Re: Begonia fungus?
That could be really early botrytis blight. You can try 1 Tbsp of baking soda and 1 tsp of any dish soap in 1 gallon of water, and coat the plants lightly on all surfaces.
If that fails, step up to Daconil or any other good systemic anti-fungal.

Re: Begonia fungus?
Thanks Morph..... part of the problem might be I planted them a little too close together. They are the same size as when I planted 4-5 weeks ago.

Re: Begonia fungus?
No huge damage, begonias don't mind being a bit crowded, really. I have a 14" pot out front with 3 tubers in it. It's under the porch, though, so it stays dry except when I water it...and I never wet the leaves all that much.
For the season, give it a quick shot of a (rotating) antifungal every 2 weeks or so for best results. Or just do it when you see symptoms, that works too.
