The presence of black fungus on your cat's leg is most probably due to some sort of fungal or bacterial infection, which could have come about due to a variety of causes.
It is very hard for me to determine the severity of your cat's condition from the description you have given here.
The best piece of advice I can give you is to monitor your cat carefully, and to inspect the black fungus on the animal's leg regularly.
I would then advise you to take your cat to a veterinary practice, who will be able to give your cat a detailed and thorough examination and hopefully make a diagnosis.
Once a diagnosis has been made, then treatment can begin straight away.

- Black fungus could be the result of a fungal infection.
- It may also be a result of a bacterial infection, picked up via a scratch or other wound.
- To be completely sure, you should take your cat to see the vet.
