Have some things on my yard that I am not sure what it is. I have gone
to two garden shops and got two mutually exclusive responses.
After rains the last couple of weeks, I have a cottony cover on my
grass (I thought originally it was stuff from the cottonwood or some
weed sticking to the wet grass (see picture). However, soon I realized
that the grass in the area was turning brown in roughly the outline of
the cottony cover. One guy suggested fungicide and another just thought
I should fertilize and it would come back.
Any suggestion?

Here is a very interesting four page monograph, published by Perdue
university: "Using Organic Fungicides"

I have never used the organic approach to fungi, but after reading
this, I would be willing to give it a try.
