Monographella nivalis var. nivalis
（重定向自Fusarium nivale）
Fusarium patch is a disease in turf grass settings called pink snow mold, Microdochium patch or Fusarium patch. Microdochium nivale is the pathogen that causes this disease in many cool season turf grass species in North America. The white-pink mycelium on infected leaf blades is a distinguishing characteristic of the Microdochium nivale pathogen. Fusarium patch is considered economically important in the turf grass industry because of its tendency to cause significant injury to golf greens, thereby decreasing putting surface quality. Dissimilar from other snow molds, such as gray snow mold, Microdochium nivale does not need snow cover to cause widespread infection.
