Grey Dots and White Eggs on Lawn: Fungus or Insect Eggs?

Grey dots suggest fungus; white eggs could be insect eggs or dried fungus. Take samples (plant + pest) in sealed plastic bags to a local garden center/nursery for ID and treatment recommendation.

Meanwhile, correct watering: water early morning only, deeply (1+ inch), not daily. Avoid evening watering—prolongs leaf wetness, promotes fungus/mold.
