Slime Mold

SEASON: Occur most often in late spring or summer on all grass types.

APPEARANCE:  Thin white, yellow or gray layers of slimy paste-like material that cover leaf blades.  These masses later dry to form bluih gray, black or white powdery growth on blades.  Although they may look alarming, slime molds pose no real harm to your lawn.  In most cases it will turn black and disintegrate within in a few days on its own.

FAVORABLE CONDITIONS: Appear most often during several days of cloudy, wet and humid weather.  Poor drainage and heavy thatch can alo increase the odd of occurence.  Chemical control is not necessary because they will disappear when dry weather returns.
