All plants are affected by fungi. There are thousands of kinds of fungi in the soil which play an important role in the chemistry of the soil. Some soil fungi, for example, play a symbiotic role with nodules found on the roots of legumes, whereby the fungus makes nutrients that are normally not usable by the plant available to it, and in exchange, the fungus takes other nutrients from the root nodules. Some fungi cause plant diseases such as black spot, powdery mildew and rust. Some plants are more susceptible to fungal diseases than others, such as roses, peaches and hollyhocks. Many fungal diseases cause visible, often colorful damage to the plant, so if you see white powder, lots of tiny orange spots or black patches on your plants, you might be seeing a fungus.
