Can anyone identify the problem on some of the cinder blocks at the base

It doesn't rub off, and it's unaffected by bleach.


If it's as hard as a rock, so hard a steel-bristle brush has little
effect, rub it with a vitamin C tablet. If that has an effect, it's
black algae, and a swimming pool supply will have remover/s.
