She is such a loving little dog. The other one, too. Those you get at
rescue centers seem so thankful. The other one will find any new scratch or
booboo you get, and lick it. I think she might be one of those cancer
finding dogs, as she finds my booboos many times before I notice them
myself.
If it is a fungus growing on the leaves of the grass, that might be true, but I think it is unlikely to be the case. If it is a fungus growing in the ground, and producing fruiting bodies, in the manner of mushrooms, then spraying it won't stop it. There is no practical way of ridding your lawn of fungus like that. Your nursery made a sale and made you feel happy you were doing something about it, but it won't actually work.
