 Typhula blight is commonly found in United States in the Great Lakes region and anywhere with cold winter temperatures and persistent snow fall.Pink snow mold ("Microdochium nivale" or Fusarium patch) is the more severe form of snow mold, and can destroy the roots and crowns of grass, causing more damage than gray snow mold.Like gray snow mold, it is able to survive the summer months in decayed plant debris as spores or mycelium.
