TL;DR: The intensity of Typhula blight, the time required for turfgrass recovery, and the number of sclerotia of T. ishikariensis plus T. incarnata recovered from thatch were significantly reduced in plots of creeping bentgrass that received applications of grain colonized by isolate T016 in 1985 and 1986.
Abstract: (...) The increase in application rate resulted in: 1) a significant decrease in intensity of Typhyla blight, 2) a reduction in time required for turfgrass to recover from injury by pathogenic species of Typhula, 3) an increase in number of sclerotia of T. phacorrhiza recovered from turfgrass thatch, and 4) a decrease in number of sclerotia of T. ishikariensis var. ishikariensis plus T. incarnata recovered from thatch. The intensity of Typhula blight, the time required for turfgrass recovery, and the number of sclerotia of T.i. ishikariensis plus T. incarnata recovered from thatch were significantly reduced in plots of creeping bentgrass that received applications of grain colonized by isolate T016 in 1985 and 1986 compared with that of plots that received applications in 1985 only.

TL;DR: The reactions of alfalfa varieties, creeping red fescue, Kentucky bluegrass, red top, timothy, and winter wheat to the low-temperature basidiomycete were similar to those previously observed in the field.
Abstract: Snow mold infection by an unidentified low-temperature basidiomycete and Typhula spp. developed best under artificial conditions when inoculated plants in pots were incubated for 2 months at 2 °C w...
TL;DR: Most of the communities of fungi and bacteria are not “host specific” but colonize the roots of both wheat and canola with differing relative abundance dependent on the season.
