I have this on some of my arakawa maples. Is this a fungus?

Hard to tell from one picture (tho I'm sure some folks will try). Could be wind damage, insects, or a disease, or a root issue. It would be nice to see WHERE it is on the tree and how many leaves are affected. Is it just on one tree or several? Where are the trees kept? How are they watered? Have they been sprayed with anything?

It is on maybe 10% of the leafs, scattered all over the tree. The tree gets dappled morning sun mixed with maybe an hour of full sun in the morning, and full afternoon shade. Was sprayed a month ago with daconil. I have this on several trees. Trees are in pumice, lava, akadama. Thanks

Are all the tees that have it the same species/cultivar? Are they sitting next to each other on your tables?

I'd guess it is NOT a fungus; looks more like physical damage to me. Heat. Sun. Maples sometimes are touchy about chemicals.
