What is the black stuff in my grass?
There is a black stuff which has appeared in the grass in my garden. I am really worried it is some sort of fungus as it is killing the grass. It looks like oil, however it isn't. At first I thought it might be due to the drains underground, however they have been checked and are perfectly fine. If anyone could help I would really appreciate it.

Maybe some sort of slime mould? -- Jeff |

Anything overhanging like trees can make the situation worse.. Can also be found on turf that is on heavy soil which has been mistreated. Get rid of it by using lawn sand, but it will come back unless the under lying causes are dealt with. Spiking, top dressing, drainage etc, in fact normal lawn care will help.
