Abstract/Contents:"Of fungi isolated from turfgrasses in southern California and tested for pathogenicity, Helminthosporium sorokinianum is most common and destructive. Affected plants may show little leaf-spotting, but basal portions may be severely infected and rotted. H. vagans causes similar injury to Poa pratensis. Foot- and root-rot diseases caused by Olpidium brassicae, species of Fusarium, Curvularia, Pythium and Rhizoctonia also occur, but further studies are needed to define their specific roles and importance. Species of Rhizoctonia, mainly Pellicularia filamentosa and P. praticola, also infect the foliage and stems of turfgrasses usually during warm, humid weather and may cause considerable damage. H. cynodontis appears to cause little injury except to weakened plants. Sclerotinia homeocarpa, Pythium aphanidermatum, and Puccinia spp. also are prevalent and may cause substantial damage under favorable conditions. The endophytic vesicular-arbuscular mycorrhiza of Endogone (Rhizophagus), occurs commonly in roots of overwatered, heavily-matted turfgrass. The prevalent fairy-ring-forming fungi in Los Angeles County are Lepiota molybdites and Psalliota arvensis."
