Mold: In the Winter Time?

Yes, there is a disease called Snow Mold that occurs mostly in Northern regions. It is caused by several different fungi and affects many turfgrasses. The symptoms are irregular to circular patches of water-soaked, yellowed, or bleached turf. They sometimes bear a whitish, gray, or pinkish cast. There are two types of snow molds, gray and pink, that become active under the snow cover.
