I have just recently started up a 29 gallon planted tank. On only one of the logs there is a dark fuzzy algae or something growing on it. I have attached a picture for reference.

Is this a normal growth or is it a sign of a problem. (it is on the log in the left of the picture)

It will probably grow bigger into fuzzy white stuff, it looks like mold to me. I'd try boiling and scrubbing the driftwood.

Cheers,
Chris

Thanks. It is only on one piece of driftwood at the moment so i will remove it and take your suggestion. Hopefully it doesn't have any adverse effect to the fish.

Looks like BBA to me. Just boil and scrub the wood (as mentioned above) and you should be good to go !
