Does Fungus happen above ground or below ground

Have a quick question. Does Fungus happen above ground or below ground? I have Brown Patch from what I believe is over irrigation and was curious where it grows.
Also would you bother putting down a fungicide (like Bayleton) or just thatch the crap out of it and not to water for a week or two?
Thanks.

Fungi "happen" both above ground and in or below the thatch layer.

There are dozens of great websites out there about turf grass diseases. Perhaps some other people will share their favorites.

And, your welcome.

 

Ya at this point I am looking at what once a beautifully manicured lawn to this and am trying to determine what would be the best / quickest method of getting rid of it. Fungicide are don’t water and wait.
