Hosta issue

I have white patches just appeared on potted hosta on about 3 leaves. It’s placed in a shady spot, so can’t imagine it’s sun burn. I have placed copper tape around the container to minimise slugs. This is second year for plant, first year no problem, this patches just appeared in recent days. Maybe it needs a fungal spray. Appreciate any ideas and suggestions. Thank you

    Not fungal.
    How can you lie there and think of England
    When you don't even know who's in the team

    It looks like sunburn to me…

    Maybe there was a variegated hosta in its ancestry.
    Dordogne and Norfolk. Clay in Dordogne, sandy in Norfolk.

    It’s consistent with sunburn. My neighbour has some and they are in complete shade apart from one side of a few of them. They have all (the ones who catch the sun) got those white patches.

    I have taken the leaves with the white patches off, see if the patches reappear. Thank you
