Default White mold on the new turf?

Hi,
About a moth ago I hade new turf /Rolawn medallion/ laid in the garden.
Recently I noticed something which looks like a white mould appearing in
many places
all over the lawn. Could not find any answers in my local garden centre or
book I have.
The soil was well prepared and aerated by a professional /unfortunately he
is no holiday
in New Zealand/
What could it be? Is it dangerous to the new turf?
Would be grateful for any suggestions.
Thanks in advance

Rafal

Take a look and see if it is growing on the surface of the grass
without seeming to damage it, or is is growing in the grass shoots
and seems to be damaging them. If the former, it will be a slime
mould, and may be ignored.

Nick Maclaren.

sounds like fusarium or dollar spot shouldnt worry too much as your turf is
mainly rye grass a dose of iron or autumn lawn fertiliser will help

Thanks a lot for the response. It is possibly fusarium.
Just spoke to Rolawn, they think than what it is as well.
Thanks again
