Tttf lawn got bombarded with this weed in like a week. Trying to figure out a plan to tackle this weed but need some help IDing it.

Zone 7b

I started seeing these small mushrooms popping up in my lawn last week and was curious what is causing them. Should I be concerned? If my dog eats them can it be harmful? How to treat this?

I’ve never seen this weed before it’s new. I planted Kentucky blue grass and use Scott’s top soil to reseed every year and this grew in spots I didn’t even reseed. Any idea? I also use Scott’s weed and feed yellow bag.

Anyone had any experience with products like this? Made a post recently and it seems like we need to completely re-start our lawn, but sod is too expensive. No issue with reseeding the normal way, but this seems a bit easier to use so I was just curious.

Located in Dallas.

Also seems like we will have to start this process next year unless we do a cold season grass, based off my reading it seems like we won’t have enough time before the heat gets here to kill the current grass (I tried roundup last year and everything came back) and for the new seed to germinate.

Definitely a newbie at this stuff, but also a first time homeowner so trying to do this on a budget and not trying to get too advanced in everything yet (I’ll get there lol)

Thanks! Pictures of yard in comments if reference is needed as to why we are probably going to kill everything and restart.

Thanks!

Delaware. If this is POA, has anybody had any luck mixing Tenacity Turf Herbicide
And Hi-Yield Triclopyr Ester?

Im getting alot of this this year. What is it? Im in central illinois on boarder of iowa.

Location: Chicago

Seed: Jonathan Green Black Beauty

Results from an over seeding last August. What is the best game plan to fix this? Rip it out, aerate, over seed again, and top soil?

Just saw this all over the lawn.. is this a good thing or bad thing ?

Hey everyone, looking for some honest advice on whether I can save my lawn or if it's a lost cause.

Location/Zone: Southern California desert (Zone 10a/10b) – summer temps easily hit 110^\circ\text{F}\text{–}120^\circ\text{F}.
Grass Type: Bermuda
The Issue: Had a major sprinkler system failure and the lawn went completely without water for a couple of months during the winter. It dried out significantly.
Current Status: I fixed the irrigation issues a few weeks ago. I've been putting down about 1.5 inches of water per week (using a cycle-and-soak method to prevent runoff in this heat), but I'm not seeing the rapid green-up I hoped for yet.

My Questions:

1. Is there hope? Bermuda is notoriously tough, but did a two-month winter drought in a high-heat desert kill the root system entirely, or is it just having a hard time waking up?
2. What should my next steps be? If it's salvageable, what’s the best recovery guide? Should I push fertilizer right now, aerate, or just keep up the deep watering?
3. Should I scrap it? If this is a lost cause, what are the best heat-tolerant alternatives for extreme desert climates, or should I stick it out with Bermuda and replant?

I’ve noticed a few patches of this now that I’ve gotten the height up the last few mows. In West MI

I live in Maryland, about 10 min from DC. My grass has these yellow spots through out. I don't have a pet that pees on the grass. I have a ring camera that picks up people/animals walking on the side walk or towards my garage however I haven't seen animals peeing in my grass. Although sometimes my son and friends do play in the yard, not sure if that matters. I am new to this. Any help would be great.

KBG and TF

Small lawn 400 sq ft.

Before and after pics attached.

Sodded my small KBG/tall fescue lawn last spring over hard clay soil in NYC. It established beautifully and came back great this spring, but I’ve always suspected the roots were shallower than they looked.

Before this, I noticed in some areas if you tugged lightly on the grass, it felt a little loose and not fully anchored, while other areas felt super dense and carpet-like.

This Mother’s Day we had a big party with 8 kids running circles on the lawn for hours, and now I’m seeing major die-off/browning in some sections.

Does this sound like shallow rooting + compaction from traffic on clay soil? Or could something else be going on?

My current plan is to core aerate in the fall, topdress with compost and sand for leveling, and overseed weak areas. Anything I should be doing now besides deep watering and staying off it?

Anxious to bring this lawn back to life!!

Sorry for another one of these and thanks in advance for any help.

A lot of these lighter colored curving/clasping? grass clumps appeared and grow faster than the rest of my lawn. I can’t remember for sure but I think I had a few pop up last year too. It’s in an area that had lost the previous grass and is pretty shaded. Last spring before knowing anything threw down some seed from a ez patch jug and bulk bin sun and shade mix here and in a few other spots that were just dirt (and one of the other spots has a couple of these growing). In the fall I used twin city seed tuff turf and it filled in some of this area with nicer looking grass but there’s still some spots plus now this stuff. It’s all clumped and a lot of it lays down/spreads horizontally like crabgrass so the mower doesn’t get it great. I don’t see a pointy rhizome like quack grass but otherwise seems similar and maybe I didn’t pull it out correctly. Or maybe a ryegrass?

Wondering if should be doing something now to stop it from spreading and taking over. Thanks again.

Got this stuff growing like crazy. Hard to get a good shot but for a few. It grows really fast. I also see a bunch of it just outside my property so took a pic.

Lmk if need more and I’ll try to get shots
