Pink snow mold mycelium. It may not require treatment other than taking
a leaf rake and fluffing up the matted turf. Hope you didn't leave your
lawn tall last fall, a short final cutting helps prevent some of this.

It's still too early in the year in PA to apply fungicide anyway. Give
it a normal balanced feeding in a month or so, after you have cleaned/
fluffed the blighted areas with a leaf rake. If it continues to spread
after that you'll need a trip to the garden center for some fungicide.

Thanks for your advice. I did cut the lawn short last mow last fall to avoid
this problem.
