This disease is caused by the fungus Sclerophthora macrospora and unlike many of the fungi that caused disease in cool-season turfgrasses, this fungus is an obligate parasite.

In this respect, the fungus is similar to the rust fungi that can also cause turfgrass disease – but that is where the similarities end.
