| Question: | "I am sending you under separate cover a sample of fungus. This sample has been taken from a green lying high and dry. Two-thirds of the greens is affected and the grass seems to be dead. We had 30 inches of snow in the early part of December, which disappeared on January 6th, and it was then I noticed the fungus. I do not think this can be snow-mold as I saw this fungus in the winter of 1926 and 1927 before the snow came." |

| Answer/Response: | "From your description we suspect that the injury was due to some fungus, probably of the snow-mold type. The fact that you found the same type of injury even in the absence of snow does not necessarily rule it out of consideration. "Snow-mold" is a common name used to designate one or more of the fungi injuring plants at a very low temperature. The moist conditions provided by a covering of melting snow apparently are just the conditions needed for the growth of this group of fungi. Therefore, the damge is ordinarly associated with a covering of snow, although the snow itself has nothing to do with the damage except in an indirect way in so far it affects the growth of the fungi. This association has led to the common name, "snow-mold". However, moisture from light showers or heavy fog during periods when the temperature is just a little over the freezing point may also provide conditions favorable for these fungi. Therefore, it is not an uncommon experience to find injury from the so-called "snow-mold" fungi where there has been no snow whatever on the greens." |
