FAIRY RING  (Mushroom Fungi)
Basidiomycetes

Fairy Ring (lovely sounding but not fun to live with) Has a totally different look than the other diseases with the appearance of a darker green amid the unaffected grass and surrounding an inner cobwebbed dead grass. These fungi may belong to a list of at least 50 and is a consistent management problem of trying to get water under the fungus and constant mowing to help provide some removal of the webbing. All grasses can be affected. Quartenary ammonium compound is the chemical control used.
