Question
I live in Ohio. We have had a wet couple of weeks. My lawn is covered with patches of dark red/brown spots. What can I do about it and will it kill my lawn?

Answer
Hi Robert,

ABOUT LAWN FUNGUS DISEASES:
-------
Without a visible inspection and/or image or specimen/sample to examine, realize the       limitations here in diagnosing any specifics about your lawn's appearance decline.
 Thank you for the useful data you have provided so far.

Turf grass FUNGUS outbreaks are relatively common and often fast spreading.
Work fast to avoid losing large areas infected with the phytopathogen.

A closer examination of the grass foliage should verify a fungus infection of the grass blades.

Your local lawn and garden center should sell one or more FUNGICIED chemicals you can apply to the lawn to control-eliminate a fungus problem.

Keep mowers and lawn tools cleaned to help control the spread of fungal spores.

-----With a good fertile-loamy well draining top-soil, best quality hybrid grass type(s), 1-3 inches of water per week, plenty of sun-light, ...almost anyone can have an excellent lawn with a minimum maintenance effort.

I Hope this has answered your question(s)!
Have a fantastic Summer!
