A black or brown tongue typically is due to the overgrowth of bacteria that normally are present on the tongue. This, too, can be caused by the killing of some bacteria with antibiotics so other bacteria overgrow. But the most common cause of discoloration of the tongue is the overgrowth of a fungus.
