1. Algae growth

Blue, green or black stains on a bitumen shingle roof are mostly caused by algae. These algae staining begins with small spots. Over time these spots can develop into streaks. Algae stains are often mistaken for mold or mildew. Algae may hurt the appearance of your shingles roof, but other than that it is not harmful at all.
