Where on your plants is the mold or fungus, Janice? Can you post a photo?

If it is spots on the leaves, which afterwards turn yellow, could be early blight.

You are making a mistake in watering the leaves of your tomato plants... Water on the leaves esp.. water in the evening can cause a disease on tomatoes... I have experimented over the years with a variety of different ways to grow tomatoes and posted photos of a syestem I am trying this year using a garbage can buried in the ground and I have loads of tomatoes under very hot and dry conditions...my tomatoes are at 5'4" and still growing loaded with small clusters of tomatoes and full of bloom sets...

definitely keep the leaves as dry as you can and water at the base of the plants. I always spot water my tomatoes when they need a drink. We've had so much rain up here in the Northeast, we need to watch for blight and rot . Any leaves close to the ground should be cut off too. I cut the leaves off of the bottom of the plant to make sure nothing is touching the soil and once my plants are a couple feet tall, I cut out everything about 8 inches above the soil level. I also trim out the suckers on the plant. The tomatoes need to have air circulating around them and if they are too dense the leaves stay moist.

I haven't experienced this yet but i was thinking testing a spritz of hydrogen peroxide on a leaf and see it the plant tolerates and if it kills the mold but not the plant ...
