Hi all,

Here is NC the snow has melted, though there is still a chill in the
air. While outside in the yard, I noticed a milky white substance on
many blades of grass. It almost looks like someone took a paint brush
with white paint and flicked the brush so that the paint spattered over
the grass blades.

Any idea what this is and how I should treat it?

Thanks!
Heidi

Was there snow piled on your grass from the street? Could it be salt or
mag-chloride? Try just rinsing it off and if that doesn't work look into the
possibility that it's a fungus.

Good luck,

It is called snow mold and it is a fungus that grows quite happily
under the snow, nothing to be done for it.

Not likely powdery mildew this time of year, but more likely snow mold. See:
