using the term "zucchini fungus" and came up with nearly 3,000 possibilities, among the first 10 was this one. It is not 'authoritative' but should get you started.

both zukes and cukes are from the cucurbit family and susceptible to pretty much the same diseases. What you have is probably powdery mildew. Do a search on "powdery mildew" for the treatment. Bill

Any more ideas? Just spent some time looking on google and couldn't find anything, hmm anyone know where to find pics of diseases in zucchini?
