A granular fungicide for the lawn that you put down with a fert spreader should have Bayleton in it as it's active ingredient. Scotts also has a Lawn Disease Control but it isn't labeled for rust. Bayleton is labeled for rust so it covers more diseases than Scotts. However, if you are sure you don't have rust (when you do have it your shoes and lawnmower and everything else gets an orange-yellow color from the spores) the Scotts is usually less expensive.

It all depends!! Are you trying to get rid of mushrooms, a leaf spot, pythium or soem other fungus?
First find out what kind of fungus you have... a fungicide that works on leaf spot will not work on pythium or mushrooms, so you'd be wasting your money.
Check with your local extension office and they can help you and also recommend a control for you... you might not even have to put down a fungicide! Some fungal problems can be easily fixed without the use of chemicals. (like you may just need to raise your mowing height, or reduce your watering, etc.)
You should always ID the problem you are having then decide on a control.
PS. Sevin is an insecticide! If you want to go with something, go with Bayer, Ortho or Scotts products! The active ingredient 'chlorothalonil' is a very common multi-purpose fungicide, but this will not take care of pythium, you'll need a product called Subdue for that.
