It looks like Dog Barf Fungus.

Sign of a soil or watering problem?
Anything to do about it?

 

Dog Barf Fungus is harmless.

I'm moving this to the Fungus ID thread. There are other pictures of dog Barf Fungus there.

 

I'm back:
Mowing at 4.25". Irregular water schedule, trying to depend on mother nature but am supplimenting.
I am seeing brown blades of grass. Curious if it is a fungus, some sort of stress or bad luck.
Nothing on lawn since July 5. A string of hot and humid the last week or so.
Fought with Powdery Mildew and Leaf Spot in late June with apps of Eagle 20 and Disease Ex per labels at curative rates.
Random in parts of yard. Not necessarily in spots like below but random blades interspersed with green ones without a spot.

 

I have similar spots like you Killsocket. I thought it might be insects in the soil but I'm not certain it's that or fungus.

 

@Killsocket Can you take a closeup of the blades?

 

I hope this helps.

 

I'm thinking this is leaf spot or brown patch, anyone know?

 

Hmm. Time to get a microscope?

Any idea what this is?



I also have some of the same forming around my forsythia trunks:

 

Looks like dog barf fungus.

 

Hey guys, This fungus is on a newly seeded area of TTTF, a couple weeks post germination. I had the same fungus spots about a week ago and hit it with prop and that seemed to cure it. Well, it's back. What's in the pic appeared overnight.
Any suggestions? Thanks!

 

@Doug E Dee I moved this here. It looks like pythium blight. Treat it asap since it spreads fast.

Thanks g-man, just ran down to Lowes for a bag of Disease-ex, applied at curative rate and watered it in. That's the best I could do because I only have propiconazole and a little Eagle left in my inventory (neither of which seem to be labeled for pythium). I really should spring for a bottle of azoxy to have on hand.

 

I wish there was a guide to help with what fungus(s) my lawn actually has. I've tried starting a thread about getting help on which fungus I have but very surprisingly got no answers.

 

I have damping off pretty bad especially around the edges of my yard. It's my fault for heavy seeding in those areas. I'm on my second round of Scott's Xs and the weather here in Nashville is finally going to cool down after 3 or 4 days of rain. I've pulled out all the dead grass and seeded those spots. I'm just praying the cooler weather will save my new renovation. Any advice would be helpful. Thanks all.

 

@canyoncove There are 29 post on your thread around fungus on bermuda. I dont think the cool season guys could help with bermuda. Bermuda normally bounces back if you follow good cultural practices (water in the am, good fertilizer, etc).

@Avalawn T My main advice is to reduce the watering and start mowing the lawn. It looks too long. Keep it at 2in until it matures. It should help with airflow/drying.

 

Thanks for the reply, will do. It's been mowed 3 times now at 3.5 inches.

 

@g-man Thanks for the heads up.. I didn't even realize I was in the cool season grass forum.

This was my original post.

In July, my lawn looked the best it has ever looked. Then August came with it's weird temperature swings and never-ending rain. I ended up with several areas of light green/lime green grass. I figured I might have been a little too late on pre-m and brushed it off as Poa A or Poa T. Now I'm starting to wonder if I'm dealing with some sort of disease instead. I took a closer look at the grass and did notice some lesions on the areas that were lime green. Any thoughts on this?

I was thinking of hitting the lawn with a blanket spray of a Propiconazole/Azoxy tank mix.

 

I don't see signs of fungus in these images. Maybe it was there and now it is gone. It looks like the thin stuff suffered more than the regular width leaves blades.

 

@g-man I'm at a loss then on what's going on in these areas. Pic #2 did have a lesion or 2 in there. The thin light green blades appear to be new growth in those areas, but they don't seem to ever mature into dark green blades (If that makes sense).

 

Can anyone tell me what I've got going on here. I have a few areas throughout my newly seeded TTTF.

 

A tomato?

I cant tell. It might be damping off. The leaves look long.
