Damp conditions can bring out other types of fungi that can create more serious problems for your lawn. Brown patch, fusarium blight, and rust are a few of the diseases that thrive in wet grass.
Polypores are also called bracket fungi, and their woody fruiting bodies are called conks. Most polypores inhabit tree trunks or branches consuming the wood, but some soil-inhabiting species form mycorrhiza with trees. Polypores and their relatives corticioid fungi are the most important agents of wood decay.
