The fungus then begin to move down and invade the crowns and the roots of the plants. From far away, the turf appears yellow or blackish brown. The colors that appear on the turf directly reflect the nitrogen levels in the plant. When turfgrass has low levels of nitrogen it turns yellow and when it has high nitrogen levels, it turns blackish brown.

Leucocoprinus birnbaumii is a common find in greenhouses and potted plants all over the world having been spread by human activity. [53] When Europeans started exploring the tropics and bringing back exotic plant species for study or cultivation they were unwittingly bringing fungal hitchhikers back with them in the soil.
Pyrenophora tritici-repentis and Drechslera tritici-repentis is a necrotrophic plant pathogen of fungal origin, phylum Ascomycota. [1] The pathogen causes a disease originally named yellow spot but now commonly called tan spot, yellow leaf spot, yellow leaf blotch or helminthosporiosis.
F. septica's plasmodium may be anywhere from white to yellow-gray, [6] typically 2.5–20 cm (1.0–7.9 in) in diameter, and 1–3 cm (0.4–1.2 in) thick. [7] The plasmodium eventually transforms into a sponge-like aethalium , analogous to the spore-bearing fruiting body of a mushroom ; which then degrades, darkening in color, and releases its ...
Epichloë is a genus of ascomycete fungi forming an endophytic symbiosis with grasses.Grass choke disease is a symptom in grasses induced by some Epichloë species, which form spore-bearing mats on tillers and suppress the development of their host plant's inflorescence.
These leaves are usually 2–4 centimetres (0.79–1.57 in) in diameter, and normally spotted with yellow, gray, or a bluish mold in the lower surface. Younger plants that are up to four weeks old and are affected by the disease are easily killed by the oomycete. Older plants become deformed and dark, indicating that parts of the plant are dead.
The symptoms begin with small (1/10-1/4”) reddish or purplish-brown spots with light green or yellow ring around them. As the disease progresses the damaged areas become slightly larger and then dry up and fall away, leaving BB-sized holes behind. As the fungus spreads, more leaf tissue is damaged until the leaf falls.
