| here is a closeup of the top, Also this is in Tennessee |
|
| I know absolutely nothing about the grasses of Tennessee but this looks to me like a grass infected with a smut type fungus, so not typical of the species (whatever it is!) |
|
|
| Might be a Digitaria sp. (Crabgrass). Try to find a healthy plant without the fungus for comparison. |
|
| Thanks I was looking down the wrong path, I guess I have a yard full of smut :) what are the neighbors going to say |
