My first reaction to seeing this was bird poop.
Upon closer examination, it is the true color of the leaves of this VERY white clover. There a few other similar cases in the general area where these are. I suspect some sort of fungus but would appreciate it if someone could identify it. js PHOTO OF THE WEEK: http://schmidling.com/pow.htm Astronomy, Beer, Cheese, Fiber,Gems, Sausage,Silver http://schmidling.com |

If it is the actual leaf color, it is unlikely to be a fungus. It could be a genetic mutation that expresses itself as a variegated leaf. I would think the pattern rules out its being the result of a chemical spray Does the clover seem otherwise healthy? Virus diseases of clover usually cause yellowing or bronzing. J. Del Col |

It's pretty Cheryl Dog or someone's urine? |

The color breaks aren't that neat. But it could be a virus-induced mutation. J. Del Col |

How about the white mold/fungus that tends to grow on old straw? |
