snow mold?

Alot of green but in some areas it is white. Especially tree lawn. You can pick it up very easially. No roots. Has anyone else heard this term snow mold. It made sense to me because during the winter that's where mounds of snow end up. Plan to rake up and seed. Not much else I can do.

Thanks! Bambi

Grey or pink spots, Bambi? Two different kinds...

I would say gray.

Scott.. I checked out the site you sent me for snow mold. It was helpful

I went out and raked and pulled up all the loose grass. Later reseeded. I recently noticed my bald spots are turning green. Thanks!

Watch those green spots in summer especially; spring cool season grass plantings can be swamped by weeds during their summer "dormancy", as they hate heat and weeds like crabgrass love it...those spots will be tender and will likely need water during the dry times...

I think that was supposed to be "as", so perhaps a double stroke?
