It is indicative of spiders.

 

Spiders or dollar spot fungus. My bet is dollar spot.

The typical spider web is funnel shaped with a hole in the middle with a spider in it.

 

Yeah I checked - no spiders.

Just gave it a dose of Eagle20.

 

That is 100% a spiderweb.

Dollar spot will cause leave damage with hourglass shape. There is no damage in these leaves. Also, there is a hole in the middle of the spiderweb.

 

Definitely spiderwebs.

 

Monitor that spot closely , I went through the same exact thing. Those spots later had visible signs of fungus damage and later blade death.

Then later I had this going on.

 

While the characteristics of the webs very slightly lean more towards being spider webs than fungus, it would be injudicious to definitively say so without further investigation. There are several threads on here showing the exact same webs with everyone posting unanimously that it's the early stages of a fungal disease. There are also threads on here showing photos of identical webs with everyone stating that it is spider webs, without asking any questions. One member always says spider webs without asking any questions. That person is wrong about it more often than not proven by follow-up posts showing the fungal damage that shortly ensued.

That amount of spider webs do not show up in one night, it just doesn't happen. Typically, you will start to see one or two in the morning (sign that it's time for another bifen app) and then the numbers start growing every morning thereafter.

The hole that is pointed out in this web is not a hole from a spider.

With webs like that, if it's spiders, you will be able to see them, especially with the sheer number you have. They are fast and you will have to approach slowly to see one.

If it's spiders, one app of bifen liquid and those webs will be completely gone by the next morning or two.

Another morning has come and gone since your fungicide app, what are your results?

A Google image search is hardly conclusive evidence.
For reference, several of your results for "branching mycelium" -- seemingly confirming that what OP has is that and not spider webs -- are images linked to a post on this very forum where it was confirmed they were spider webs and not mycelium. They're only popping up in your results bc of the thread title... Which as mentioned was proven incorrect. And frankly, none of the rest of the results really look anything like what OP posted either.

I've seen many posts here, and had my own experiences with both spider webs and mycelium from fungus. OP has spider webs.

 

You did the correct thing in spraying a fungicide I was told spider webs when conditions were perfect for dollar spot and guess what it was dollar spot but lost 2 days of getting it under control at that point the damage was done

 

You're not going to see spiders running around on dew covered webs in the early parts of the morning. Lots of spots like that can show up, from spiderwebs, in a short period of time.

You should have left a small section that wasn't sprayed. Bet that area would have been fine. Still going with spiderwebs but spray if you want for peace of mind.

 

If you are seeing Dollar Spot mycelium, you will see damage to the leave blades. The mycelium is normally on the leave blades themself, like the images from Maclawn.

The OP images are spiderwebs with dew on them. If you zoom in you will see the web connecting the leaves with the dew suspended on the web.

 

Next morning after spraying no webs. However, temp was lower and very light misting rain. The morning of the webs, very high nighttime temps and humidity.

Two things still need to be answered. Do they disappear when you touch them and did they go away when the sun hit them?

Also look very closely for a small red spider.

 

I get these all over my 30,000 sq ft lawn. It looks like mycelium with the web like structure but in my case it has a tiny red spider in that matrix. So I'm out at like 7am and the spiders are evident but its easy to miss them without a close look. That said I had a major fungus out break this summer I think pythium because in one area it killed allot of the grass to the root, other areas recovered somewhat. So going forward my advise is if you see those web like structures examine them closely for spiders early in the morning if you don't see any assume it is fungal disease. I am thinking now its possible for both conditions to exist at the same time. I'm evolving to think I proactively need to use insecticide, fungicides, and herbicides. I have tried to be a minimalist and wind up regretting it. If you look close you can see the spiders in pics I have hundreds each morning.

Eh , just some reference
I had and posted about the same "web" appearance . Turns out for me it was fungus.
Maybe next season I will do a better job of documenting my problems and take better pictures.

 

There are a few "seasoned" members on here that have incorrectly identified mycelium as spider webs several times. They typically identify examples like EdenMD's pics as mycelium and the OP's examples as spider webs. As you can see, this thread, and a few other lawn web threads, were conveniently "forgotten about" after the conversation went into detail.

 

Maybe I am not understanding but I was replying to the OP. I have webs with tiny red spiders. The webs look like mycellium and could easily be mistaken. I have had fungus disease and have seen the mycellium associated with disease they look very similar. The pictures I included are spider webs. The little red spiders will scurry away as you put your hand near the web. If i had a camera with better resolution you could see the spiders better. I believe I identified my discription of pics as "looks like mycellium" because the don't resemble typical spider webs. You can have both fungus and spiders with mycellium like looking webs going on at the same time. Since fungicides are expensive you might want to verify your not using them to treat spiders that is all I was saying.

 

Nope, you didn't misunderstand anything. You're good and right on with your observations, pics, and post. Good job! :thumbup:
