First what type of grass is in the picture? My lawn is mixed with this and tall fescue. In the picture you will see parts are turning brown, including the tips, which in some cases can be from a dull blade. My mower blade was sharpened prior to the start of the cutting season. None of the tall fescue blades are showing any signs of brown discoloration. Is this a fungus from the wet spring?

Expert Response
We are unable to ID the turfgrass in the photo; not enough distinguishing features and fine details are visible, especially with mown grass. If you would like to try to determine what grass it is, you can use the key and descriptions in the links below to narrow-down the possibilities. Illustrations of what the structures or features look like (ligule, vernation, auricles, collar, etc.) that are needed for comparison are included in each page.
